Spanning 670 sqm, the Plaza Premium Lounge in Edinburgh Airport can accommodate up to 165 people. Subtle Scottish elements have been woven into the interior design, from tartan upholstery to carefully selected local artwork referencing a few of the many Scottish landmarks and iconic imagery.

In addition to multiple zones, the lounge caters to travellers with children in an “Interactive Area”. The family-friendly section provides shuffleboard, foosball and large screens showing live sports and entertainment. Interactive wall games and a small climbing wall will also keep children entertained and occupied while they wait for flights.

“We know there is a pent-up demand for travel as people optimistically eye the beginning of the end of the pandemic. There is an overwhelming desire to reunite with family and friends, take that well earned holiday, or reconnect with clients and we are confident that 2022 will be a key year in travel’s recovery,” said Gail Taylor, Director of Retail and Property at Edinburgh Airport. “We want to be able to offer them the opportunity to get their trip off to the perfect start by relaxing in one of our lounges, which is why we are excited to be welcoming Plaza Premium Group to Edinburgh Airport – its first Scottish location.”

The lounge, Plaza Premium’s third in the UK, is open daily to all travellers regardless of airline or class of travel, and without pre-booking.
