The Collinson Group has announced that a total of 57 Plaza Premium lounges are leaving the Priority Pass program next week, on 1 July 2021.
The good news is not all Plaza Premium lounges are affected. The bad news? A lot of those near Singapore will be leaving the program, including the one at Changi Airport Terminal 1.
On top of that, all 4 Priority Pass lounges in Kuala Lumpur International Airport are Plaza Premium Lounges and all of them are affected without an immediate replacement.
Plaza Premium lounges that I have written reviews of in Hong Kong and London are also affected.

Bottom line
My complimentary unlimited Priority Pass lounge benefit from Citi Prestige has been very useful for me over the years. I will not be travelling much (internationally) in the coming months and hope that Priority Pass can work out some replacements over that time. 🤞
