I normally travel business class anyway so why would Priority Pass be of use to me? |
Although most of the major airlines will have their own lounge facilities at many of their destinations, this is not always guaranteed. And it is usually at the less popular destinations where an airline lounge does not exist that you need one most! Priority Pass is a great back-up in such circumstances.

The Priority Pass Card Kit comes along with the "Lounge CD". The CD provides the details of all the lounges that can be accessed across the world.

The Priority Pass Card is valid in all the lounges that come under the 'Priority Pass Program'.
