Priority Pass lounges are a coveted perk for frequent travelers without access to an airline-specific lounge while traveling. With over 1,300 lounges worldwide, Priority Pass provides access to an extensive network of premium lounges. These lounges provide travelers with an array of amenities and services. From comfortable seating areas and complimentary Wi-Fi and food and beverage offerings, Priority Pass lounges make traveling a little bit easier. Priority Pass memberships can be purchased, but they’re also a perk for holding certain premium cards like the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card or The Platinum Card® from American Express.
Plaza Premium operates over 250 locations in 70 international airports across 30 countries. Many of the lounges were eligible for entry until April 2021. Now, 63 of those lounges are coming back (39 lounges join today and the rest will be added back to the Priority Pass program on June 20th.

Anthony’s Take: I’m happy to see these 63 lounges added back to Priority Pass. There are times when an airline club or Centurion Lounge is not an option and these help to fill some of that gap.

so what are the other 57 lounges internationally? Is there a link to a list?
I added the list of airports. Some have more than one.
Possibly worth mentioning that Plaza Premium lounges were always available to Amex Platinum card holders anyway so even when your Priority Pass couldn’t get you in (because the lounge was full) or there wasn’t a Centurion lounge, it was a nice 3rd option.
Plus Plaza Premium tend to be nicer. The one in Siem Reap (used in many photos for this news on different site) is special and the new lounge at MCO again, is a step up from many others
