    I was just going to ask the very same question. I've never used a lounge before - is it worth it do you think. My flight is at 1300 so I would be going in for lunch

    Thanks

    I booked the Escape Lounge in T1 the other day through Holiday Extras.

    Their price was £15.83 using a 10% off code - no idea what it was now, just found by Googling. Also got £1.59 from TopCashBack so total price £14.24; I think full price is £17.49?

    Note that TCB is meant to only pay 2% if you're using a voucher code, but has tracked at 10% for me so I'm not complaining! Only booked it last week and the cashback is all tracked through and payable already.

    This will be my first time using a paid lounge - to be honest I'm not expecting anything amazing but figured I could easily spend £15 on food and a couple of coffees at the airport, plus there's free WiFi so thought I'd give it a try. The menu for the Escape Lounge is available online and explains what you get - it looks better for lunch than breakfast to be honest. I'm planning to be in there from 8:30 til 11:30 so planning on having breakfast then maybe a snack before I leave as the lunch food apparently goes out at 11am. Personally I never drink before a flight, especially long haul, but if you do I think at least some alcoholic drinks are included which makes it pretty decent value. I'm travelling alone though - might feel differently if I was paying £15 each for a whole family.

    Hi, I thought it was worth it and we certainly had our money's worth :) I'm sure others would say differently! Nice and relaxing too :)

    Hope you enjoy it :) :beer:

    The escape lounge at manchester airport is very good and worth the money in my view, however I wouldn't bother with the Servisair lounges.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Just looking at the servisair Stansted lounge,

    Lounge facilities

    • Children allowed - Sh*t
    • Disabled access - They have to, quite rightly.
    • Free drinks - This bit's good.
    • Free snacks - This bit's good also.
    • Internet - I've got a dongle already so don't need.
    • Fax - Does anyone still use faxes apart from solicitors?
    • TV - Don't have one, don't need one, don't want to see one.
    • Wifi - see internet above.

    So, take a bottle and sarnies any you can save a 35 quid for 2.
    Who do you think you'll be sharing the 'exclusive' lounge with
    in the middle of Essex? :eek:

    Last time I went through security at Manchester T1 it took so long there was no time left to go and sit in a room subtly filling my bag with 150ml Coke cans while Mrs o4u updated her Facebook status.
