New DragonPass feature: Exchange lounge visits for airport fast track passes

If you have more lounge visits than you can use, you might feel a bit pained seeing the remainder go to waste.

But what if instead of wasting them, you could trade it for something else? That’s what DragonPass is now offering with its new “swap entitlement” scheme, which allows customers to trade lounge entitlements for airport fast track access.

A swap entitlement gives eligible cardholders the flexibility to choose how they would like to use their travel benefits. For instance, with a Fast Track and Lounge Swap Entitlement you can opt for either a lounge visit or access to a Fast Track Lane, whichever suits your journey best

The catch is that this feature is currently only available with the UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal Card, which isn’t exactly an easy card to get. But it could just be a matter of time before it’s rolled out to other cards, and when that happens, here’s how it works.

Swap lounge access for fast track passes

From 13 October 2025, UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal Cardholders can swap their complimentary airport lounge access for an airport fast track pass via the Mastercard Travel Pass app.

Each lounge pass can be traded for a fast track pass of up to US$32 in value, and a maximum of two lounge visits can be used to pay for a single fast track pass. If the value of the fast track pass exceeds US$32 (or S$64, if two lounge visits are used), the difference will be charged to your credit card.

The catch is that DragonPass fast track clearance only covers expedited security clearance, and not immigration. Depending on the airport, the latter may be more of a killer than the former, so you’ll want to keep that in mind before pulling the trigger. 

Fast track isn’t offered at all airports, though I did find it available in Abu Dhabi, Barcelona, Dubai, Helsinki, Istanbul, London Gatwick, Milan and Rome, to name a few.

I could see several scenarios in which this could come in useful. For example, you might already have another credit card that offers unlimited lounge visits, or you might have more lounge visits than you’re able to finish. In that case, having the option to convert the extra into Fast Track is better than letting it go to waste. 

However, the cost of fast track passes can sometimes be surprisingly cheap, like at London Gatwick where it’s just US$5.85 per pax. It feels like a bit of a waste to trade a lounge pass for this, unless you really have no use for those lounge passes at all.

Which app to use for DragonPass?

It’s important to remember that DragonPass has three different apps, and the correct app to use depends on where you got your membership from.

You use the official DragonPass app only if:

• You purchased a membership directly from DragonPass
• You’re using the OCBC VOYAGE or OCBC Premier Visa Infinite Card (which does not include set meals)

Otherwise, you’ll be using either the Mastercard Travel Pass (for Mastercard) or Airport Companion (for Visa). Refer to the table below for more details.

Conclusion 

UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal Cardholders can now trade their lounge visits for fast track passes at participating airports, as part of a new DragonPass feature.

While this only covers expedited security and not immigration, it could be useful in situations where you plan to cut things close, or if you just don’t intend to finish all your lounge visits.
