Priority Pass has since advanced far from offering just lounges to travellers. There is a whole network of bars, restaurants, hotels, spas and even caviar stores. Anything can be available to members. It depends on the location. I certainly love this concept especially when I have an unlimited priority pass card. I always love seeing what is around the airport that I am flying out from. It can be very valuable if you have multiple outlets that work on a credit system. I also love a spa or massage outlet. I have visited a number of these both abroad and in Singapore. This time around I am checking out the Mach2 restaurant in Sydney International Airport. It is an offshoot of their sister restaurant Machiavelli in the city.

Access Requirements

Mach2 Restaurant is open daily from 6am to 9pm. You can access this lounge via lounge program membership like Priority Pass. I have an unlimited Priority Pass through my Citi Prestige Credit Card or my UOB Reserve Card and use that to access the lounge. A normal entrance will cost 35 USD.

Arrival & Location

The restaurant is located landside, before security. This makes the facility slightly less useful as you still have to take time to clear immigration and security. It is located in the food court area near check-in counters H. Simply inform the staff that you would like to use your priority pass. You can then order after swiping your priority pass card and presenting your boarding pass. You can order anything you want off the menu up to the limit of the credit. Cardholders are entitled to up to 36 AUD off the menu. If you bring in a guest, that will be 72 AUD. You can top up anything extra with cash.

Mach2 Restaurant

This is more of a proper restaurant rather than a lounge. The seats are rather comfy and spacious. As mentioned earlier, you are allowed 36 AUD per person. You can order anything on the menu. Check out the menu over here.

We got a selection of items to share including the Grilled Fish of the Day, Fish and Chips as well as the Squid Ink Pasta. I have to say that the food is just ordinary and nothing delicious. I would not have paid to dine here on my dime.

Conclusion

I certainly appreciate Priority Pass expanding its networks. I love such restaurants, cafes, bars and even spa outlets. This can be handy if you have an unlimited priority pass. Most of the time, such food will be much better than what you can get at a contract lounge too. Check it out when flying out of Sydney
