If you’re deciding how to enter, here’s the simple takeaway: Priority Pass is usually the best value if you’ll use lounges more than once or twice per year, while third-party passes can work well for one-off trips.

The No1 Lounge is a paid entry lounge. This means you can access it whatever airline you are flying with and whatever type of class you are flying.

You can either;

• Buy access directly with No1 Lounges – £44 per adult for a 3 hour stay
• Buy access through via my discount code at Holidayextras – £37.84 for 3 hours guaranteed entry
• Access via an airport lounges membership scheme such as Priority Pass.The cost to enter depends on your membership level. Standard Plus works out at £20.60 per visit (based on 10 included visits).

Using Priority Pass In This Lounge

This lounge accepts Priority Pass, which is usually the best value way to get access. My entry to this lounge cost me £20.60 as I used one of my included 10 visits with Standard Plus Membership. I was visiting unexpectedly having only booked my flight the previous day. This meant I couldn’t prebook the lounge. I would recommend this as it does guarantee entry. The additional cost to prebook with Priority Pass is £6.

Inside the No 1 Lounge Luton – My Experience

I hadn’t expected to be at Luton Airport so my flight booking was only made the day before – too late to prebook a lounge. The airport was absolutely heaving when I arrived at around 8am. There were people all over the place.

I found it very noisy and overwhelming. I was convinced I wasn’t going to be able to access the lounge but fortunately they squeezed me in.

When I arrived this lounge was very busy and there were only a few seats left (albeit some seats were reserved and empty). During my visit the lounge become much quieter and when I went back into the main airport building I found that there were fewer crowds too.

I sat at a small table with a pair of upholstered chairs.

Inside this lounge you’ll find:

• Small workbench with sockets and 3 spaces – this is right up against the wall so not very scenic.
• Variety of chairs and tables in pairs on one side of the lounge
• Pairs of sofas and tables
• Dining tables and chairs
• Large upholstered sofa bench seating with small tables and chairs
• Tiny TV room for 2 people

Is Priority Pass Worth It at Birmingham Airport?

For most travellers, the answer to that is yes.

Here’s why:

• Walk-in price: +£40
• Priority Pass visit with Standard Plus Membership (and my discount) £20.60
• Food + drinks + comfort: Included

If you use this lounge just twice per year, Priority Pass often pays for itself.

For regular flyers, it’s one of the easiest ways to save money.

You can also prebook all the lounges at Birmingham Airport through Priority Pass, which guarantees entry at peak travel times.
