Why VacayDelay
If you’re ready to give the airport lounge life a try, VacayDelay is the lowest cost of entry.
Ordinarily, lounge access is included as a perk for elite credit cards or for first-class and business-class travelers. A few lounges issue a pricey day pass.
You can lock in an entire year of VacayDelay for just $29 and enjoy the benefits at over 1300 airport lounges worldwide!
A few benefits of an airport lounge include:
- A hideaway from the hectic airport terminal with a sense of luxury
- Free snacks and beverages…often including beer, wine & cocktails
- Comfortable seats & workstations with free WiFi to work on-the-go
- Family-friendly atmosphere, including kid’s rooms in many cases
- Some even have showers!
A single flight delay will pay for itself immediately in the dollars you would have spent on coffee and a snack at Starbucks while waiting in a hectic terminal!

General Questions
What is VacayDelay?
VacayDelay offers complimentary airport lounge access during flight delays.
How does it work?
Simply register your flight prior to the scheduled departure time and include up to 4 traveling companions. We will keep track of your flight’s status and if your flight is delayed for an hour or more, we will send you complimentary access to your nearest participating airport lounge.
How much does it cost?
A one-year unlimited-use VacayDelay membership costs $29 USD.
How is a delay calculated?
Delays are based on ‘gate’ delay reporting from airlines and airports to FlightStats (our third party flight data tracker). Should FlightStats report a qualifying delay the system will issue the lounge vouchers. The minimum 60 minute delay can be a single announcement or a series of shorter delays adding up to at least 60 minutes.
VacayDelay tracks almost all major commercial airline flights, but there are limitations against airlines/airports that do not report data regularly. Charter airlines are not supported.
Can I use the lounge if my flight is on time or delayed less than 60 minutes?
VacayDelay is designed to offer a comfortable waiting experience during flight delays. We do not currently offer lounge access for flights that are on time or have not been delayed by less than 60 minutes.
Support
Can I change my email address after registration has been submitted?
Once you submit a registration you cannot change any of the details. Instead, please cancel the registration and re-register.

You will be asked to provide your name, the email you use to register, your flight number and departure date, the names of any additional travelers who you registered, and VacayDelay/HelloVacay as your lounge access provider.
Can my lounge voucher be re-sent if I accidentally deleted it?
If you have accidentally deleted your email, we recommend accessing the trash/junk folder in your email account. If you need additional support, please contact 24/7 customer service at +44 203 725 1601 or [email protected].

- The passenger name on the boarding pass does not match the name on the lounge voucher. Unfortunately, in this case, no alternative offer will be available.
