FAQs - Airport Lounges

Which terminal should I book my lounge in?
The lounge needs to be in your flight’s departure terminal. If you are booking a lounge for a stopover, you need to use the departure terminal of your onward flight.

Can I book a lounge in a terminal that is different from the terminal I am departing from?
In general, since our lounges are located ‘airside’ after security checks, you will only be able to access the lounge from the same terminal you are departing from. There are some exceptions and this will be explained in the ‘Directions’ information on each lounge.

Can I book a lounge in the arrivals terminal?
You can only book a lounge in the departure terminal rather than arrival terminal.

I’m booking a lounge for a stopover between flights - which time of flight should I use?
The flight time should always be the time your flight departs from the airport - so you need to use the time your onward flight departs from the airport.

How long can I stay in a lounge?
In most lounges the maximum length of stay is 3 hours. We do offer some extended lounges with 4 or 5 hours of access. The access time for each lounge is displayed during the booking process.


What if I want to stay longer in the lounge?
For extended stays, use of the lounge is at the discretion of the lounge staff and any charge for an extension should be paid directly to the lounge staff at the time. Therefore you should make your booking for the standard access time and then when in the lounge simply speak to the lounge staff about extending your stay. Depending on how busy the lounge is at the time this should not be a problem.

Can I make a lounge booking for today?
Unfortunately not. All lounge bookings need to be made 24 hours in advance of your arrival time at the lounge. This is a policy set by the lounges themselves so they can manage availability.


I have an economy ticket – can I use your lounges?
Yes of course, all economy travellers can book into our lounges. You don’t have to be a VIP or a business executive to use our airport lounges – everyone is welcome.


Are children allowed access to the lounges?
Many lounges do allow access to children. If the lounge you have chosen does not permit children you will be informed at the second step of the booking process.

What’s included in the price?
Most lounges, including Servisair, No. 1 and Aviance lounges, include all drinks, alcohol and snacks within the price. You will also be able to enjoy a range of facilities including internet, TV and a selection of magazines and newspapers.

Why type of alcoholic drinks are provided?
The type and availability of alcoholic drinks will vary lounge to lounge. In general, alcoholic drinks means complimentary wines and spirits but not champagne.

What type of food is provided?
All lounges have a slightly different food policy but most lounges, including Servisair, provide snack type food such as crisps, nuts, pretzels, fruits and pastries. No. 1 lounges do provide hot food plates. Food provided varies by time of day with breakfast type snacks available in the morning and sandwich type snacks at lunchtime.


What does the smart/casual dress code mean?
In general the lounges request that customers dress in a smart/casual manner meaning no shorts, baseball caps or football shirts.


How many people can be included on one booking?
You can book up to a maximum of 5 passengers per booking (including where permitted infants and children). For group booking of 6 or more passengers please fill out our group booking form at www.tripextras.com/group-lounge-booking giving us at least 7 days notice.


Can I book more than one lounge?
Our lounge booking process is very quick and once you have made your first booking you will simply need to make a separate booking for your return or another journey.

To do so you will need to email or call Lounge Pass, the company that fulfils your booking, within office hours (Mon-Fri 08.00 – 20.00 and Sat 09.00 – 17.00) on info@loungepass.com or 020 8253 5146.
