Lounge Intelligence

You are standing in a terminal with a boarding pass and a wallet full of cards, and the only question that matters is simple: which of these lounges can I actually walk into? Lounge Intelligence answers it. Add the cards, memberships and airline status you already carry, once. Every lounge is then checked against them and told to you plainly — you're in, you can buy a day pass, or you're not getting in with this wallet. And it tells you why. Not "eligible", but "via Amex Platinum", with the conditions attached: guests must be on the same flight, international departures only, same-day boarding pass required. The rules that decide lounge access are genuinely messy, and this app applies them instead of summarising them. WHICH CARDS Amex Platinum and Business Platinum, Chase Sapphire Reserve, Capital One Venture X, Citi AAdvantage Executive, Citi AAdvantage Globe, Citi Strata Elite, Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant, Bilt Palladium, United Club Card and Delta SkyMiles Reserve — plus Delta Medallion, United Premier and AAdvantage status, and cabin-based access on the ticket you are already holding. Citi AAdvantage Globe and Citi Strata Elite carry four Admirals Club passes a year rather than membership, and the app says so on the card. These are the premium travel cards that carry lounge access. If none of them are in your wallet, this app has little to tell you, and we would rather you knew that before downloading it than after. WORKS WHEN NOTHING ELSE DOES The entire dataset ships inside the app. No connection needed, which matters at exactly the moment you need it — an international gate with roaming switched off, where a website is not a competitor, it is unreachable. There is no account. There is no sign-up. Your wallet is stored on this device and never transmitted. Location, if you allow it, works out which airport you are standing in and is then discarded. IT TELLS YOU WHAT IT DOES NOT KNOW Every lounge shows whether it has been checked against the operator's own page, and when. 218 of 261 have been. The other 43 say "Unverified" rather than borrowing a date from somewhere else — including all 33 Admirals Clubs, because American publishes no lounge-level detail at all, and we would rather say so than guess. Verification dates age. After three months a date becomes an age; after six months the word changes from "Verified" to "Last checked", because "verified" is a claim about the present tense and we cannot keep making it. Where coverage is thin, the app says so on that airport's own screen. A short list is our limit, not the airport's. WHAT YOU GET • 254 lounges at 51 airports, across Amex Centurion, Delta Sky Club, United Club, Admirals Club, Priority Pass, Capital One Lounge and Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club • The airport you are in, detected automatically, with a one-tap override • Open, closing soon, or closed — in the airport's local time, not yours • Guest rules applied to the people actually travelling with you, not quoted at you • What each card in your wallet opens, and what you would lose without it • A change feed filtered to your cards, so you see only what affects you • Filter a big airport by terminal or concourse • Light and dark, and full VoiceOver support WHAT IT DOES NOT DO No maps or walking directions. No photos of individual lounges — the images are network atmosphere shots and are labelled as such on every screen. No crowd predictions, because we have no way to measure them. No push notifications yet. Independent and airline lounges outside those seven networks are not listed, and the app says so rather than letting a short list look like the whole airport. Lounge Intelligence is an independent tool. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any airline, card issuer or lounge network.
