Birmingham air port lounge

can any one tell me of their experiences with these.
i was thinking about giving it a go next time i fly out to turkey.
i have had a look on their web site and it says that you get free drinks, ( alcholic) :beer: snacks, internet and newspapers.
my thinking behind this was it would be cheaper to eat there and have a few drinks rather than spending my money in the over priced bar.
any thoughts welcome.:o

    I've used these lounges quite a few times and found them to be very nice and relaxing. I've PM'd you a link which should save you some on the price.

    waste of money IMO . we used one in Manchester . The women receptionists acted like they were born with a better pot to Pee in than you , and loved acting like little Hitlers

    Food was nothing of substances unless you like lots of Museli and biscuits . Coffee was not a patch on Starbucks , TV had screen burn and could not be heard . chairs were not comfy . and it was crammed full of stuffy old people . you would also really struggle to drink your moneys worth of booze as well ( very small cans ect and very limted choice)


    save your money and go to Duty free and the Bar.
    Better in my pocket than theirs :rotfl:

    used the premier lounge at B'ham in march, and was not impressed, the furniture was "tired" snacks = either a muffin or pkt of biscuits, yes there was a selection of free drinks, but even with a 10% discount + quidco frankly it's not worth the money, [if egg did 75% discount as they did about 3-4 yrs ago] i would use it but just for the lack of noise and general hubbub found on the concourse.
