Palm Beach International Airport will be getting a new Priority Pass lounge, the lounge will be located airside in Concourse B. The lounge should open by February, 2019 but we all know that delays are almost inevitable when it comes to airport lounge openings. The lounge will be operated by Gideon Toal Management Services, they also operate ‘The Club’ lounges at BWI, MCO, SJC & ATL. Gideon Toal Management Services will pay the airport at least $65,000 annually for the space. It’s not clear at this stage how large the lounge will be.

As of Feb 2019 doesn’t seem to be available yet for Priority Pass.
As of almost May 2019, there hasn’t been any news that I have seen.
Yeah, even if you WANT to fly into PBI, you often wind up at FLL because there are so many more flights and they’re usually much cheaper. That said, it’s inevitable that PBI traffic will increase, and this lounge definitely makes the airport more appealing. A PP restaurant would probably be better than a lounge, but I’ll take a lounge! Harder to open a lounge at FLL, because their separate terminal structure makes it somewhat impractical for a non-airline affiliated lounge.
Wish Priority Pass would address major airports that don’t have a lounge yet (I’m looking at you, PHL – and no, for me a closet-sized “minute suite” doesn’t count) rather than adding lounges to minor underused airports.
It can be much harder to add lounge options at larger airports, there’s limited space and space doesn’t often open. Also PP doesn’t actually run this set of lounges, The Club does and then PP just pays a fee to access them.
Tiny airport, not much traffic. I usually use FLL or MIA because I like lounges, nice to have one close by.
