UK Airport Lounges: Prices and Passes at Every Airport

Britain has a wide choice of pay-per-use airport lounges, from the big networks at Heathrow and Manchester to independent lounges at small regional airports. For most holidaymakers, the easiest route to airport lounge access is an airport lounge pass for a single visit: no membership, no premium card, just a booking for the lounge in your departure terminal. This guide lists the lounges you can book at every UK airport on LoungEasy, what a pass costs and how the rules work.

UK airport lounge pass prices at a glance

On LoungEasy, every lounge at a UK airport is listed at €55 per person at the time of writing (September 2026), whether you fly from Heathrow or from Inverness. Prices are shown in euros, per person, before you pay, so you know the total for your group before you set off for the airport. There is one price to remember across the country, which makes it easy to plan a holiday or a business trip that starts at one airport and ends at another.

LoungEasy lists lounges at 27 airports across the UK, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and Gibraltar. Some airports have a single lounge, which keeps the choice simple; the larger ones, such as Gatwick, Heathrow, Birmingham and Edinburgh, have several, and the right one depends on your terminal and your departure time.

What a UK lounge pass includes

What the price covers depends on the lounge, and each lounge page on LoungEasy lists its amenities. UK pay-per-use lounges typically offer:

  • Hot and cold food or a breakfast buffet, snacks and fresh fruit
  • Soft drinks, tea and coffee, and in most lounges beer, wine and spirits
  • Free Wi-Fi, charging points and flight information screens
  • Seating away from the crowds, often with runway views
  • At some lounges, family rooms, games areas or quiet zones

A few extras can cost more, such as premium drinks or spa treatments, so it is worth reading the amenities list before you book if something matters to you.

How an airport lounge pass works in the UK

  • One pass per person, one visit. Each traveller needs their own pass for the lounge you book.
  • Up to three hours before departure. Most UK pay-per-use lounges, including Aspire and Escape lounges, admit you up to three hours before your scheduled departure.
  • Airside, after security. Almost every UK lounge is in the departure lounge, past security. At airports with separate terminals or piers, such as Gatwick and Birmingham, choose the lounge on your side of the airport.
  • Family rules vary. Most lounges welcome children with an adult, while some premium tiers are for adults only.
  • Booked ahead, your visit is secured. Lounges can stop admitting walk-in guests when they are full, which happens on summer mornings and school-holiday weekends.

LoungEasy passes are non-refundable unless they are marked as refundable at checkout. LoungEasy guarantees that the lounge will accept you during its opening hours: if a lounge refuses entry even though your pass is valid, you are refunded once the refusal is confirmed with the operator.

How to choose the right lounge

At a one-lounge airport, the only questions are whether it is open when you fly and whether it is on your side of security. At bigger airports, check four things before you book:

  1. Your terminal or departure area. Your airline's terminal decides which lounges you can reach.
  2. Opening hours. Many UK lounges open before the first morning departures and close in the evening, so a late-night flight may leave you with fewer options.
  3. Who you are travelling with. Families will want a lounge that welcomes children; couples and business travellers may prefer a quieter space.
  4. What you want to do. A cooked breakfast before an early flight, a quiet desk to work or a bar with runway views all point to different lounges.

London airports

London's airports have the widest choice in the country, and each works a little differently. Our guide to London airport lounges compares every option in detail; here is the short version.

  • Heathrow: the No1 Lounge in Terminal 2, reached by lift next to Gate A18, and two lounges in Terminal 3, No1 on level 1 and My Lounge, which is pre-book only. All the options are on the Heathrow lounges page.
  • Gatwick: No1 Lounges and My Lounge in both terminals. In the North Terminal both are in the lounge pavilion signposted after security; in the South Terminal they are off the main departure hall. See the Gatwick lounges page.
  • Luton: My Lounge, after security near Yo! Sushi, with a games area and a self-service menu. The Luton lounge page has the details.
  • Southend: the Skylife Lounge at The Pilot Cafe, where a member of staff greets you after security.

England

Manchester

Manchester is one of the most searched-for lounge airports in the country, and it has changed a lot recently. Terminal 1 has closed, so the airport now runs on Terminal 2, used by most airlines, and Terminal 3, used by Ryanair. LoungEasy sells access to the Aspire Lounge in Manchester Terminal 2, and every option is on the Manchester Airport lounges page. Our Manchester Airport lounge guide explains which lounge to pick for each terminal.

Bristol

Bristol has one lounge on LoungEasy: the Essence Lounge, on the mezzanine of the departure lounge next to Frankie & Benny's. It opens at 03:30, in time for the first holiday departures, and serves both domestic and international flights. The Bristol Airport lounges page and our Bristol Airport lounge guide have the details.

Birmingham

Birmingham has two lounges you can book. The Aspire Lounge in the South Terminal is next to Gate 1, on the side of the airport that serves gates 1 to 20, and No1 Birmingham is in the main departure lounge, between WHSmith and Next. Our guide to Birmingham Airport lounges explains which suits your gate, and the Birmingham Airport page lists the details.

The Isle of Man has the Rendezvous Executive Lounge at Ronaldsway, and Gibraltar has the Calpe Lounge in the departure area, open from the first flight to the last.

What to expect at UK lounges on LoungEasy

Food and drink

Most UK lounges on LoungEasy list hot and cold food alongside snacks and fresh fruit. Alcohol is included at most of them. Several Aspire lounges, including those at Belfast City, Humberside, Inverness, Liverpool and Newcastle, list champagne among their amenities, and many lounges list vegetarian options. If you have specific dietary needs, the amenities list on each lounge page is the place to check.

Working before your flight

Almost every UK lounge on LoungEasy lists free Wi-Fi, and most list charging points and flight information screens. A few go further for business travellers: the 51 Degrees Executive Lounge at Cardiff and the Rockliffe Lounge at Teesside list printing, and Exeter's Executive Lounge lists computers.

Families and accessibility

Most UK lounges on LoungEasy list disabled access, and many list baby-changing facilities, including the Aspire lounges at Manchester, Newcastle and Belfast City, My Lounge at Luton and the No1 Lounge in Jersey. Gatwick's No1 Lounge in the North Terminal lists a family room, and My Lounge at Gatwick and Luton lists a games area. If you're unsure about age rules, contact LoungEasy's support team before booking for children.

Pay-per-use lounges and airline lounges

Most UK airports also have lounges run by airlines, such as British Airways at Heathrow, Gatwick, Edinburgh and Glasgow. These are reserved for the airline's premium passengers and top-tier frequent flyers. If you are flying economy without status, the pay-per-use lounges in this guide are the ones you can book, whichever airline you fly with.

Tips for busy UK airports

  • Allow for security queues. Summer mornings and school holidays are the busiest times at UK airports. Your lounge time starts once you are through security, so leave enough time to get there.
  • Follow the lounge signs. After duty free, look for signs to the lounge by name or for "Executive Lounge" or "Airport Lounges". The directions on each LoungEasy lounge page describe the route.
  • Keep your boarding pass handy. You will need it at the lounge desk together with your booking.
  • Watch the boarding screens. Lounges show flight information, and many make boarding announcements, but it is up to you to reach the gate on time.

UK lounges for early flights

If your flight leaves at dawn, these lounges list the earliest opening times on LoungEasy at the time of writing:

  • 03:30: the Essence Lounge at Bristol, the 51 Degrees Executive Lounge at Cardiff and the Rockliffe Lounge at Teesside
  • 04:00: No1 Lounges at Gatwick North and South, My Lounge at Gatwick and Luton, the Avro Lounge at Leeds Bradford and No1 Birmingham
  • 04:30: the Escape Lounge at Edinburgh and the Aspire Lounge at Humberside

Opening times can change with the season, so check the hours on the lounge page before you travel.

Making your lounge pass go further

A few habits help you get more from each visit: arrive two to three hours before departure, check what food and drinks are included, and book passes only for the travellers who don't already have access through a ticket or card. Our guide to airport lounge deals has more practical ways to keep the cost down.
