With the upcoming new features incorporated into the Priority Pass app, travellers will be able to better locate the lounges and gain greater visibility over the capacity of various facilities (e.g. security wait times) while being able to seek out other benefits inside the terminals. Push notification can also be enabled for users to receive real-time recommendations of services when entering an airport that will lead to exclusive discounts. The LocusLabs partnership marks the start of a string of further developments for the company in 2018, with a number of exciting capabilities due to be introduced to the Priority Pass app.
