Collinson International, the business behind Priority Pass™, the world’s original and market-leading airport experiences programme has announced a new partnership with Greater Thameslink Railway (GTR) to introduce premium airport travel benefits for Gatwick Express customers, helping create a more seamless journey from train to terminal.

Through the partnership, passengers travelling to or from London Gatwick Airport with Gatwick Express receive preferential rates on LoungeKey Pass, providing single-use lounge passes to more than 1,600 airport lounges worldwide.

Against a backdrop of increasing traveller expectations, the partnership supports GTR’s ambition to further enhance the Gatwick Express customer experience by offering premium travel benefits beyond the rail journey itself. For Collinson International, it represents another step in helping elevate travellers’ end-to-end journeys through more seamless and connected travel experiences. Alongside its airport experience solutions, Collinson International continues to invest in and enhance its core offering through upgraded digital capabilities, including the rollout of the Priority Pass+ app, alongside an expanding portfolio of travel services such as airport fast track, airport parking and luggage storage, helping partners deliver greater value throughout the travel journey.

Christopher Evans, CEO of Collinson International, said:

“Traveller expectations continue to evolve, with people increasingly expecting journeys that are more seamless, connected and personalised from the moment they leave home. That makes collaboration across the travel ecosystem more important than ever.

“We’re delighted to partner with Greater Thameslink Railway to bring single-use airport lounge access to Gatwick Express customers. By extending premium travel benefits into the rail journey, we’re helping our clients create greater value for their customers while delivering more connected travel experiences that build deeper emotional engagement and long-term loyalty.”

The launch forms part of GTR’s enhanced Gatwick Express services, which includes earlier morning train services over the summer and fast track security access designed to make airport journeys easier and more convenient.
