Collinson and I.A.S.S Co. have expanded their collaboration with the addition of two new lounges in Narita International Airport to Collinson’s Priority Pass’ network.
This enhanced agreement comes as part of Collinson’s ongoing expansion of airport lounges and travel experiences within its Asia-Pacific network. Between January to September 2023, 13 new airport lounges and travel experiences have been added to the Priority Pass network in Japan, bringing the total number of airport experiences in the market to over 20 to date.
With this expansion, Priority Pass Members now have access to the I.A.S.S Superior Lounge -NOA- (Terminal 1) and the I.A.S.S Superior Lounge -KoCoo- (Terminal 2) at Narita International Airport. These lounges are inspired by Japanese shrines and gardens (NOA) and Japanese sub-culture of anime and manga (KoCoo). Guests can also enjoy a wide range of Japanese cuisine and locally-produced wines when they dine at both lounges.
“NOA and KoCoo means relaxation and no pressure respectively in Japanese, and these are what we hope our guests will feel as they unwind and ‘switch off’ at our lounges before continuing their journeys,” shared I.A.S.S Co. director Aki Chiyokawa.
Priority Pass Members travelling across Japan can also enjoy various travel experiences, such as the in-airport Japanese-style public bath at Kutsurogi Dokoro at Chubu Centrair International Airport, or the 9h nine hours hotel (capsule) at Narita International Airport.
“Japan is a highly popular travel destination in Asia and continues to be so, as reflected by the rapid recovery in its inbound tourism numbers this year. International arrivals to the market are now at over 95 per cent of pre-pandemic levels,” added Todd Handcock, global chief commercial officer and Asia-Pacific president, Collinson.
