Flight Delay Lounge Pass: A Comfortable Seat Instead of Waiting by the Gate

Flight delayed by more than 3 hours? We’ll automatically send you a lounge pass to make the wait more pleasant. It’s one of the benefits of the ZEN plan.

· Updated · 2 min read

Your 18:40 flight doesn’t leave until 23:00. You could spend more than four hours in the departures hall – or in a comfortable lounge.

A long delay shouldn’t mean sitting on the floor by the gate. Flight Delay Lounge Pass is a Flight+ benefit. If your flight is more than 3 hours late, we’ll automatically send you a lounge pass, so you can wait in comfort.

You’ll find Flight+ in a tab in the ZEN.COM app. That’s where you add your flight, so we can start protecting your trip.

How Flight Delay Lounge Pass works

Long delay? Get a lounge pass to wait it out comfortably.

Before you fly. Flying? Add your flight in Flight+ and we’ll start protecting your trip.

When it’s delayed. If the delay goes beyond 3 hours, we check whether you’re eligible for a pass. If you are, you’ll get a notification in the ZEN.COM app when it’s ready. There’s nothing to claim.

At the airport. Your pass is a QR code in the ZEN.COM app. Use it in an airport lounge and settle in until your flight. It’s valid for 24 hours from the time it is issued.
