POSTED BY Mavy | December 6, 2019
Label: Travel Tips
When you’re heading away on holiday, all you want to do is put your feet up and relax, but getting through the airport can be anything but relaxing.
Airport lounges are a great way to take a load off and enjoy a bite to eat and a drink before you board the plane, but many are often put off by the cost.
However, lounge access doesn’t necessarily have to cost the earth, and in many cases, you could wind up spending a similar amount on food and drink anyway!
With that in mind, here’s how much it costs to book a lounge at each of the UK’s major airports.
