Expedia Gold and Platinum Members Get Free Lounge Access After a 90 Minute Delay

Gold or Platinum member booking a group on one Expedia itinerary? If your flight is delayed 90 minutes or more, everyone on that itinerary can get into a lounge for free. Gold members get the perk now too.

A few things worth knowing:

• Book everyone together. Access covers the travelers on the same itinerary, so one booking keeps your group together.
• Register the flight at least 24 hours before departure. Certain airlines are excluded, so check yours first.
• Think independent lounges. The pass program gets you into independent lounges, and major airline club lounges are generally not included.
• No lounge at your airport? Each eligible passenger on the itinerary gets $20 in OneKeyCash instead.

It applies to eligible flights booked through Expedia between September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2027. It is a pilot.

CLEAR+ gets cheaper for members too. It lists at $219 a year, and members pay $129 for Platinum, $179 for Gold and Silver, or $209 for Blue. That price is for first time CLEAR+ enrollees only, one redemption per person, so you can't already be enrolled.

Silver or Blue? The CLEAR+ price is your part of this. Gold or Platinum? Book the group on one itinerary, register the flight, and a long delay gets a lot more bearable.
