Find airport lounges that fit your flight, your access and your time. LoungeMap brings together more than 2,000 lounges at airports worldwide. Start with an airport or scan your boarding pass, then check the cards, memberships and airline status you hold. FIND YOUR OPTIONS See lounge entry routes, terminal directions, opening hours and traveller reviews. Your status and card benefits help narrow the choices; your flight and each lounge’s current rules still matter. COMPARE BEFORE YOU CHOOSE Save lounges in Favourites, then select two or three to compare access, location, hours, ratings and useful amenities. Share a comparison with a travel companion through a link they can open on the website. KEEP A PLAN FOR TRAVEL DAY Save a lounge choice on your iPhone and add an optional reminder before your trip. Previously loaded lounge catalogue information and saved plan details remain available without a connection. Live updates, online imagery and some map services need internet access. KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT Find the details that matter to you: food, showers, quiet spaces, power, crowding and more. Read traveller reviews and the LoungeMap Journal. Where information is missing or a location is uncertain, check the terminal directions and operator information before travelling. BUILT AROUND YOUR JOURNEY • Airport search and boarding-pass scanning • A guided setup for cards, memberships, airline status and lounge preferences • Favourites, lounge comparisons and shareable comparison links • Saved lounge plans with optional local reminders • Airport orientation maps and terminal directions • Traveller reviews and independent lounge reporting • Clearer airport and lounge names throughout the app You can explore without creating an account.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LoungeMap at none against Boarding Pass Decoder's 1. LoungeMap also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
