Priority Pass Lounges at Manchester Airport

Flying out of Manchester and ready to elevate your airport experience? Your Priority Pass membership unlocks the best of Manchester Airport (MAN) across Terminals 1, 2, and 3. From polished lounges to brasserie-style dining, there’s a spot tailored to your travel mood. Here’s where to relax, refuel, and make the most of your pre-flight time—with local touches, British hospitality, and complimentary perks along the way.

Terminal 1

Aspire Lounge

Located airside past passport control, just a short walk and one level up from the main concourse, the Aspire Lounge in Terminal 1 welcomes you from 4:00 AM to 8:30 PM daily, closing only on December 25. With a smart casual dress code (football shirts are a no-go) and free access for children under 2, it’s a reliable escape for families and solo travelers alike. Inside, you’ll find comfortable seating, air conditioning, and free Wi-Fi to keep you connected. The snack selection includes pastries, crisps, fruit, and sandwiches, while the self-service bar offers beers, wines, spirits, and soft drinks—all included. It’s not fancy, but it’s solid: a quiet place to recharge, check your flight info on the monitors, and enjoy a brew (or something stronger) before your journey begins.

Escape Lounge

To reach this lounge, head airside through security and duty-free, follow signs for ‘Premium Lounges’ past Dixons, and take the lift or stairs up to the Executive Lounge Level. Open daily from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM, the Escape Lounge in Terminal 1 offers a more polished alternative. The space is serene and bright, with air conditioning, plush seating, and a mix of hot and cold buffet items like soup, pasta salads, breakfast pastries, and mini pies throughout the day. The bar is fully stocked, and the atmosphere feels a notch more refined. You’ll also find newspapers, fax facilities, and disabled access, making this a well-rounded choice for a relaxed layover.

Terminal 2

The Evergreen Bar & Brasserie

Located in Terminal 2, this is a dining credit option where your Priority Pass visit gets you £18 off your total bill—ideal for travelers looking to skip lounge buffets and enjoy a plated meal instead. The brasserie-style menu features elevated classics like a Full English Breakfast (£12), Grilled Halloumi Salad (£14), or Beef & Ale Pie (£16), plus a wide array of wines, beers, and signature cocktails. It’s a sleek, modern space with a relaxed restaurant ambiance—think dark wood, brass accents, and high-backed booths. If your bill goes beyond the credit, just pay the difference. And remember: this counts as a lounge visit in your membership, so check your plan’s allowance. For those who’d rather dine than lounge, this is a flavorful alternative with real restaurant service.

Terminal 3

Escape Lounge

After clearing security in Terminal 3, turn right toward the shops, then left past Dixons, and head up to Level 3 to find this lounge just before the main duty-free area, adjacent to the BA Executive Lounge. Open from 4:00 AM until 8:00 PM (Mon–Fri & Sun) and until 6:00 PM on Saturdays, this space offers the same core amenities as its Terminal 1 counterpart, but often feels slightly quieter. The complimentary food includes British comfort fare—sausage rolls, scones, quiche, and mini sandwiches, while the bar has your usual spirits, wines, and beer lineup. It’s ideal for regional travelers wanting comfort without the crowd. Expect Wi-Fi, TVs, flight info screens, and a pleasant, unhurried vibe.

Lounge-hop like a pro. Start your journey in a lounge with drinks and Wi-Fi, then head to The Evergreen for a final sit-down bite. Just present your Priority Pass card and same-day boarding pass, and let Manchester Airport show you what modern travel comfort can look—and taste—like.
