Manchester offers passengers VIP treatment

Wednesday, 01 Jul, 2010 0

Manchester Airport has opened a new VIP lounge for business and leisure travellers flying from Terminal 1.

 

Passengers can pay to access the £1.7m Escape Lounge, which has separate areas for relaxing and working, a choice of refreshments and, for a quirky touch, a Scalextric track and Wii.

 

The airport already has an Escape Lounge in Terminal 2 and it is planning to open one in Terminal 3.

 

The airport is also planning to turn a vacant control tower into an additional bar for Terminal 1 later this year.
