Priority Pass has added a restaurant option to Tucson International Airport (TUS). Priority Pass members can now access Noble Hops restaurant, open from 5:00 until 20:00 daily and located landside on the 2nd floor opposite ‘Arroyo Trading Post’. Members get a $28 credit for themselves and any guests (guest access depends on the type of priority pass membership you have). Menu can be found here.
Previously there was no lounge option at TUS, so it’s great to see Priority Pass increase their lounge presence in these types of airports. That being said landside lounges are definitely less useful than airside lounges in my opinion as you want to relax after clearing security. That being said, this is a smaller airport so I don’t know how much of an issue that actually is. Priority Pass has been added new restaurant options at a quick pace recently:

Yay! TUS is my home airport and I guess I’ll be going to the airport early. 🙂
BTW – it’s a small airport and security is never long, even without PreCheck.
i <3 TUS.
Do you know if this just a one time credit or can it be used multiple times?
Sweet! Flying there next week to visit my brother. I guess I’ll be grabbing some food on the way out!
Since it’s landside, does that mean you can go and use priority pass membership here to get the $28 credit even if you don’t have a ticket?
Many of the priority pass redemption options require a boarding pass for a flight departing that particular airport, YMMV. This one may not require either yet, but once people begin to abuse it they certainly will.
Great news! Security had never taken more than 10 minutes at TUS for me, most times I just walk through having precheck so being land side isn’t a big deal.
I noticed this in the app a couple of weeks ago & didn’t realize it was a new addition. You’d think they’d announce these things when they happen…
So wait… If I show up I get a $28 credit… If I show up with a friend we EACH get $28 credit (Total of $56)? Is that correct, or do we both have to share $28?
Each gets 28! Up to two guests. We finally get one option at TUS. Cheers!
So interesting that this is land-side… do restaurants look at boarding passes to determine priority pass eligibility? I wonder if I could take a guest who is not flying with me but happens to be dropping me off at the airport.
they are supposed to verify a boarding pass for each guest. YMMV depending on how much the servers are trained on PP and how much they actually care
Sounds like a buy-and-cancel option for southwest.
Yay TUS!
We seem to be entering the Golden Age of Eating for Free at Airports. It’s funny how there’s no longer free food on the domestic flights, but now lots of free food at the airport.
