Airport-experience giant Collinson International and Hong Kong fintech platform On-us have unveiled a new model for accessing the world’s biggest lounge network. Announced in Hong Kong on 18 December and effective immediately, the tie-up embeds On-us’s Smart E-Voucher technology into Collinson’s LoungeKey and Priority Pass ecosystem. After a qualifying Visa credit-card spend, travellers receive a one-time QR code via SMS or email, giving them entry to more than 1 800 lounges without pre-enrolment or a physical membership card.
For corporate road-warriors based in or routed through Hong Kong, the benefit streamlines pre-trip admin: no extra apps, no annual fees and no risk of forgetting a plastic lounge card. Issuers can tailor the spend trigger or restrict eligibility to specific card tiers, making it easier for travel managers to align perks with policy.
Before they even think about lounge access, however, many travellers still have to verify complex visa requirements for multiple destinations. VisaHQ’s Hong Kong portal (https://www.visahq.com/hong-kong/) simplifies that step by letting users check entry rules, apply for e-visas and monitor application status from a single dashboard—an invaluable time-saver for busy executives coordinating back-to-back international itineraries.

Collinson cites post-pandemic research showing that premium airport services now rank as the most valued travel benefit among Asia-Pacific cardholders. The firm argues that instant lounge access can reduce traveller stress, improve productivity and strengthen duty of care during disruptions—a point echoed by mobility managers who routinely field last-minute requests for workspace or showers between long-haul segments.
The partnership is live in Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan and will expand to Malaysia and the Philippines in early 2026. Cardholders should check issuer terms for minimum spend thresholds, eligible merchant-category codes and blackout dates. Companies may wish to map the benefit against their preferred corporate cards to avoid accidental policy breaches.
While the scheme is consumer-facing, its implications for business travel are clear: simplified lounge access cuts friction at more than 600 airports worldwide, making multi-segment itineraries from Hong Kong smoother—especially when flight delays send travellers hunting for a quiet space to work.
