Lounge at Stansted

Options
Hello all,

Flying from Stansted for our hols and I decided we would make use of the lounge. Being as MSE as possible I enrolled for a Hi-Life card, and already have a Taste card, both of which will get you 2-4-1 entry - but you can't book.

As I'm flying with TC am I likely to be told to fox-trot off as I keep reading that it is for Ryanair passengers only?

I'm thinking it might be worth paying £36 to book places. Anyone got an opinion/any advice on this?

Thank you
Jo

    Stansted just as a No. 1 Traveler lounge which are open to anyone who pays plus members of Priority Pass, Airport Angels and other such schemes. They may have partnerships with airlines to provide their business/ first class customers free service but doubt RyanAir has either of these classes of travel

    Are you saying it's just as full of Chavs as the rest of the airport,
    or are there are even more of them in there?

    Other than possibly the amount of kids I've not seen a significant difference between those in a No.1 Traveller, BA Business and BA First class lounge. Haven't been in the BA Concorde lounge to comment on that. The lounges themselves are slightly better as you go up the ranks but even those arent night and day difference.

    The only lounges I've been in that are notably better are the VS UC lounges in LHR and JFK. Havent been in any of the middle eastern airlines First ones though.

    That was surprising civil of them, given prior evidence

    Didn't realize BA had lounges at Stansted.

    Talking in general of lounges. The only one at Stansted to my knowledge is the No1 Traveller. This chain of lounges is very consistent between airports short of you arguing the convenience of its location or what the view is from the windows etc

    Yep, near Gate 49 in the Ryanair pier. Reasonable enough & a view of the runway IIRC.

    Only problem is, if you're not flying with FR you need to allow considerable time to get back to the main terminal then on to whatever other gate you're going from.
