Manchester Airport to open adult-only lounge
Manchester Airport has unveiled plans for a new brand of lounge that will open in Terminal Three in April.
Costing £1.6m, the adult-only lounge will be called 1903, named after the year of the Wright Brothers first flight.
It will hold up to 71 people and provide ‘a more premium offering’ for passengers using the airport.
The lounge will have airfield views, serve dishes prepared by its own chef, and complimentary drinks including premium spirits.
Passengers using the lounge will also be able to make use of Fast Track security and unlimited free Wi-Fi.
The airport’s CEO Ken O’Toole said: "We continually listen to the needs of our passengers and 1903 offers something different from our existing airport lounges."
The lounge will be priced from £30 when booked in advance and is on sale from February 1.
