Real talk first: there is no Priority Pass lounge at FLL. Not in Terminal 1, not in 2, not in 3, not in 4. If you typed "is there a Priority Pass lounge at Fort Lauderdale airport" while standing in a security line, I just saved you the walk. What you get instead is a US$28 food credit at Kafe Kalik in Terminal 4, and only if your card still includes restaurants. A lot of them stopped.
The 30 second answer: FLL Priority Pass in 2026
- Lounge: none on the Priority Pass list at FLL.
- What works: Kafe Kalik, Terminal 4, Concourse G near Gate G6, 10 AM to 8 PM daily.
- The credit: US$28 off per visit, plus US$28 per registered guest.
- The catch: dine-in only, same-day boarding pass, seating when they have room.
Check this before you sit down: did your card drop Kafe Kalik?
This is the part nobody tells you until the check comes. Your card can still say Priority Pass Select and not cover restaurants at all. Here is what public card terms show right now:
- Chase Sapphire Reserve: restaurant access removed July 1, 2025.
- Ritz-Carlton card: removed July 1, 2025.
- Capital One Venture X Business: removed October 31, 2025. Venture X: removed 2023.
- Amex Platinum: no Priority Pass restaurants since 2019. Your move with Amex is the Escape Lounge in T3.
- Still listed with restaurants: Bank of America Premium Rewards Elite, JetBlue Premier, US Bank Altitude Connect.
Open your Priority Pass app, tap Kafe Kalik, and see if it lets you redeem. Takes ten seconds. Beats arguing with a server.
FLL lounges by terminal: where to actually go
- Terminal 1: United Club. No Priority Pass.
- Terminal 2: Delta Sky Club. No Priority Pass.
- Terminal 3: Escape Lounge. No Priority Pass. Eligible Amex or a paid FLL lounge day pass.
- Terminal 4: Kafe Kalik. Priority Pass yes, US$28.
Terminals 3 and 4 connect after security, so you can walk between Kafe Kalik and the Escape Lounge without clearing TSA twice. Terminals 1 and 2 do not connect, so plan on going back through security.
Landing at FLL? Forget the lounge, get out of the airport
If you are arriving, a lounge does nothing for you. What you want is your group, your bags and a ride that is already waiting. I run private Sprinter van pickups from FLL straight to Hollywood Beach, Fort Lauderdale beach, a yacht at the marina, your Airbnb or dinner. No rideshare surge, no splitting your crew into three cars.
Got a beach day planned after you land? Stack it with a Hollywood Beach cabana setup with group pickup and go from the gate to the sand.
Kafe Kalik quick tips
- Kafe Kalik menu is Caribbean and American, sit down service. Portions run big.
- Register your guest when you check in, not after you order.
- Your bill over US$28 is on you, and the credit cannot go toward tip.
- Busy hours fill up. If you are tight on time, eat first, connect second.
