How can I give my friend a free Priority Pass membership?

Priority Pass is a network of over 1,600 lounges, restaurants and experiences at 600-plus airports in more than 150 countries. Memberships are available for purchase, but several credit cards, including The Platinum Card® from American Express, the Chase Sapphire Reserve® and the Capital One Venture X Rewards Credit Card, include a Priority Pass Select membership (enrollment required) as a perk of card ownership.

Airfare sales are nothing new, but one low-cost carrier is taking it to an extreme. Flair Airlines, a low-cost Canadian airline, recently announced it would be discounting their base fares to just one (Canadian) dollar on select routes from Cancun, Orlando, Las Vegas, and Puerto Vallarta to Canada.  While the fare may only be one dollar, the taxes and fees total approximately $15.14 per flight segment, including security and government fees. The base fares do not include any baggage, so travelers with a personal item, checked luggage, and carry-on luggage will need to add a bundle, which can be as much as $56. This is a similar pricing model that has been adopted in the United States by airlines such as Frontier, Spirit, and Allegiant which offer basic economy fares without any frills.

When you get home from an international trip, you can expect to return to a few loads of laundry, a pile of mail and probably a handful of work emails you've been ignoring. One thing you shouldn't have to worry about is an astronomical cellphone bill littered with international calling fees.
