Priority Pass has announced a new addition to its lounge network in Miami; The Corona Beach House. The new addition brings the number of Priority Pass “lounges” at Miami FL International MIA to 4 lounges, although The Corona Beach House will be the only one located in the D concourse.
The Corona Beach House – Details
- Location: D Concourse between gates D23 and D24 is not a lounge, but what you get instead as a Priority Pass member is $30 worth of food/beverage credit to use in the restaurant.
- Cardholders can use their lounge visit entitlement to receive US$30 off the bill. Each US$30 deduction represents a single lounge visit within the Cardholder’s existing lounge visit allocation for which the Cardholder will, where applicable, be charged. E.g. if a Cardholder registers 1 Guest they will receive US$60 off their bill which will be charged as 1 Cardholder visit + 1 Guest visit on their account.
The US$30 is valid for the purchase of any meal and/or drinks. To be eligible, Cardholders must present a valid card before placing an order. US$30 is non-transferable & cannot be exchanged for cash substitute or refund if the final bill is lower than US$30 per person. Cardholder is responsible for the balance if total final bill exceeds US$30 per person. Any remaining balance cannot be used towards gratuity.

Overall
This is good news for Priority Pass members since it is the first lounge to be accessible on the D concourse, which is the one used by American Airlines. Even though the lounge is not a full-service lounge, it is still better than nothing, and at $30 credit per person is pretty good value even at an airport. Bring your friends!

Has anyone accessed Corona Beach House in MIA with priority pass with 3 immediate family members. I see the reviews $30 per person up to two people. Just wondering if I can get my husband and two adult children in. I get 20 passes a year and have only used one so far. Traveling in October and would feel great if I could use 4 of them. thanks
If you have PP lounge passes then yes, as one pass = 1 person
I visited Corona Beach House today and had a great experience. The service was great and the food was really good. No issues receiving the credit using my digital membership card.
Overall, a nice place to relax while in transit at MIA, Concourse D.
Looks nice. Although I usually avoid MIA
nice perk!
this actually sounds like a better deal than regular lounge access!
Nice , I have been to a couple of Priority lounges before , after visiting I couldn’t recommend anyone , but looks like I am going to try the new one in Miami it could help me change my mind.
I have a layover in MIA soon and am making a note in my phone to give this a whirl.
just tried this perk and the food was quite good
It’s good to have non-lounge options.
My two favourite words in the English language – free beer.
oh, exciting! i love Corona.
It’s great to see more restaurants joining Priority Pass.
I really hope they keep adding more and more airports/restaurants to this list!
Priority Pass is really stepping its game up. I guess with so many more members now with all the premium credit cards, they have opportunity to grow outside of the box.
Not yet used Priority Pass in some restaurant or brasserie. But hope to do that soon. Especially if they are adding more restaurants.
Abusing your Chase sapphire card’s unlimited guest policy by “buying” food/drinks for random strangers is going to lead to chase or PP limiting the number of guests for everyone and mess it up for the time you actually have more than 2 traveling companions. Don’t forget to tip too as it appears the 28 bucks doesn’t cover tips.
A CSR cardholder could make a lot of friends here!
Nice to have more Priority Pass Options!
I look forward to giving this a try when I’m next in Miami. I agree with the previous poster who said it’s nice to have a more substantial meal than you find in a lot of the lounges. (Though I’m sure I’ll also go into the Centurion Lounge while in MIA also.)
Priority Pass is really diversifying, and I like it. I have the unlimited version, for which I pay $409 a year (no credit card options here in Austria).
I definitely like the new restaurant and bar options.
Well done, Priority Pass; refreshingly, this seems to be one program that actually aims to enhance the value of their offering.
Very great news. Now to stop over in Miami.
Hmm, could be worth stopping when landing too 🙂 Have to say PP is getting creative, lets hope they do more of these at many of the US airports without PP lounges. I actually prefer a restaurant with a real menu and drink selection vs. the random selection of snacks and coors light that most lounges provide.
This might make it worth flying into MIA rather than FLL.
HAHAHAHA
priority pass is really stepping up their game. We ate at Benny’s Burgers in Sydney and it was fantastic. They even encouraged us to spend the maximum of $28.00
I guess there is competition also among airport lounges.
