HSBC Credit Cards for Airport Lounge Access

*T&C Apply

Getting access to domestic airport lounges is simple with your HSBC credit card.

• Reach the eligible lounge at your departure airport
• Present your HSBC credit card and boarding pass at the lounge entrance
• Pay a small visiting charge if requested (this charge is refunded if you have complimentary visits on your card)

For international lounges, the process will be similar. You should check beforehand for the partner lounge programs like Priority Pass, LoungeKey, etc. Find participating lounges and present your card at the entrance. Like domestic lounges, you may have to pay a fee, which will be reversed later if you have complimentary visits. If you have a guest, you may have to pay additional fee for the guest, depending on your card variant.

Complimentary airport lounge access facility is not available on all HSBC Credit Cards. Also, the number of visits varies from one card to another. You can use the following methods to check the availability:

1. Check the Official HSBC Credit Card Features Page

Visit HSBC Bank’s official website and navigate to your specific credit card’s product page. Lounge access benefits, including domestic or international coverage and visit limits, are clearly listed on this page. You would also find the links to associated terms and conditions.

2. Refer to Your Card’s Welcome Kit or Card Member Agreement

When HSBC credit card is issued, the welcome kit or card member agreement outlines all applicable benefits, including lounge access eligibility, visit limits, and usage conditions.

3. Contact HSBC Customer Care

You can call HSBC customer care using the number printed on the back of your credit card to confirm whether your card offers complimentary lounge access.
