Flying Is Stressful As Is So Being In An Executive Lounge At The Airport Can Help A Lot

Do you find travelling makes you really stressed? Are you a frequent traveller who likes to sit back and chill out rather than trawl though all the duty free shops? If this is the case, then airport executive lounges are just for you and you can be relaxing as soon as you're done parking. Sit down and have a complimentary drink before boarding your flight and start you holiday from as early as check in.

What are executive lounges?

These are lounges where you sit and relax in a nice calm environment before you are due to board a flight. There are over 19 airports in the UK so you can be sure that wherever you fly from there will be a lounge for you. You do not have to fly first class to enjoy all the benefits of an executive lounge; just make sure you pre-book it to get the best deal and avoid disappointment on the day. Lounges are only for international flights and not domestic unless stated otherwise.

What are the benefits of executive lounges at airports?

Here are a few advantages which makes them really enticing:

• Complimentary newspapers
• Complimentary drinks
• Snacks
• Alcohol available to purchase
• Business facilities such as faxing, telephone, WiFi internet and laptop charging
• Entertainment

Some places may charge for use of business facilities so check beforehand if you really need this service. Children are often welcome as long as they are supervised by an adult but they can refuse entry or ask you to leave if you have unruly children as lounges are for paying customers who want tranquillity.

How to book an executive lounge?

You can book directly through the airport itself or go through a third party that will then book it on your behalf. It's worth checking both as sometimes it's cheaper booking directly with the airport but at other times some companies get special offer discounts. If you are a frequent flyer, you can get an annual membership allowing access to most lounges around the country for a minimum of one year. It doesn't matter what airline or class you're flying as this membership is available to everyone.

Most airport lounges have a smart casual dress code so make sure you are dressed appropriately as wearing a cap or football shirt may result in the refusal of entry.

How much does an airport executive lounge cost?

A lounge can cost as little as £13 from Glasgow airport or as much as £18.50 from Luton airport. There are many international airports that have lounges for return flights also so you can also finish your holiday in luxury and style too. For this service you may want to contact the airport or do an internet search to pre-book lounge seats for the return leg of the journey.
