UK Airport Lounges

Love them or hate them from a passenger perspective the airport experience is not a happy one with delays due to the increased security checks, the high cost of buying food and drink and the proliferation of retail space has led to them being over crowded and in busy periods this can lead to a lack of seats but there is a way to improve the experience!

Airport Lounges have long been associated with first class and business passengers but did you realise they are available from as little as £16 to everyone (some accept children some don’t so you will need to check)

If you choose to stay in one of the lounges you can normally arrive up to 3 hours before your flights departure time and you can look forward to

Peace and Quiet - normal departure lounges are busy, noisy and the seats are generally uncomfortable but an airport lounge lets you relax in peace and quiet.

FREE Food and Drink - The cost of buying drinks, snacks or meals in the terminal can really add up. Airport lounges provide unlimited free soft and alcoholic drinks and snacks.

FREE Entertainment – Airport lounges provide free newspapers, magazines and TV and  some have games for kids and other entertainment like free wifi.

When you add up the value of the free drink (airport bars are not cheap for a Gin & Tonics etc!) and food, newspapers and magazines it can actually work out cheaper than having to buy food,drink and papers at the airport….especially if flight is delayed! Plus you get the extra comforts free.

Lounges normally have a smart casual dress code (no baseball caps, shorts or football shirts) and expect reasonable behaviour from guests. Airport lounges are a place to escape the hustle and bustle of the airport, and  guests are expected to behave in a peaceful and quiet manner so not to disturb other guests. Lounge staff reserve the right to refuse admission or to remove any customer at their sole discretion.
