Stansted airport lounge - is £13 for this a good deal?

"A bit unusual as I was told the flight information screen in the lounge showed the same information as those in the central area.

I specifically asked as I was on Easyjet and expected a long walk."






I was told that the screens only showed flights in that particular terminal. Only the boards in the main terminal showed all flights.

Ryanair? Don't you have to go queuing, otherwise you get on last, and can't find space for your carry-on in the overhead compartment?


I use airport lounges for long transfers, not for departure and obviously not arrivals.

My experience was at the end of August, and my flight was delayed for an hour or two so was glad I was in the lounge. Things may have changed since then but it would seem unusual to offer a lounge without this facility.

Not sure - mine is OK.

I was there at the end of June and after running round like a headless chicken looking at all the screens in that area I asked the man working in the lounge. He and his colleague both searched for my flight and couldn't find it. Then they said that if it was going from gates 1 - 30 it wouldn't be shown on the screens in that area. I raced back to the main terminal and sure enough my flight was shown there.


I did write to the airport when I got back to complain about this, so perhaps it has been changed.
