Major Edinburgh Airport change for passengers flying this summer
Holidaymakers flying from the country's busiest hub can take advantage of a new addition this summer
Passengers flying from Edinburgh Airport this summer can now make use of a new lounge after the opening of Escape Lounges in its first ever Scottish location.
Fliers who are heading off on holiday or work trips can access the lounge before they board their flights either by pre booking online or on the day. The major addition to Scotland's biggest and busiest airport was announced today, Friday, June 27.
Airport bosses have said passengers will get to experience a 'final taste of Scotland' before taking off. Prices start from £39.99 per person for the lounge, which is now open.
They say the lounge reflects the city's unique character and natural beauty. Referred to as the greenest city in the UK, Edinburgh's connection to nature is reflected in the lounge's design, where deep greens evoke its lush parks and gardens, and sandy tones mirror its historic stone buildings.
The lounge's design blends Edinburgh's history and modernity, with integrated planters and greenery reflecting the city's seamless mix of tradition and contemporary flair.
And the walls show artistic representations of the city, from the medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town to the vibrant waterfront of Leith.
Passengers can now visit the airport lounge if booked online in advance from £39.99 per person, guaranteeing a comfortable start to their journey, or can opt for walk-in access on their day of travel for £49 per person.
Escape Lounges also offers complimentary access to numerous cardholder members, including Priority Pass and DragonPass.
Fliers will find it next to Gate 4 and the British Airways Lounge. It is open daily from 4:00am to 10:00pm, offering passengers from all airlines a space to relax and eat and drink before boarding their flight.
It also has a selection of complimentary food and drink, including seasonal breakfasts and locally inspired dishes and drinks, high-speed Wi-Fi, power outlets and real-time flight information.
And guests can take advantage of a digital library which has access to more than 7,000 global publications and areas designated for work and relaxation.
Rob Hassard, Head of Growth, Experiences for CAVU, the parent company of Escape Lounges said: "Our mission is to transform the airport experience, and we're thrilled to be opening our newest Escape Lounge at Edinburgh Airport.
" Our elevated offering gives all guests flying out of the region the chance to enjoy an Escape to Remember – through a combination of exceptional food and drink, attentive service, and a beautifully designed lounge, all inspired by the local region.'
Gail Taylor, chief commercial officer (XAero) at Edinburgh Airport said: ' We are committed to elevating the travel experience for our passengers, and the opening of this brand-new Escape Lounge - the first of its kind in Scotland - is another significant step forward for us
"We're particularly proud of how Edinburgh and Scotland are reflected throughout the lounge, ensuring our passengers enjoy a final taste of Scotland before they depart.
"We look forward to welcoming them and helping them start their journey in a relaxed and comfortable setting.'
