No1 Lounge Birmingham Airport Location

No1 Lounge Birmingham Airport Location

The No1 Lounge is located airside in Birmingham Airport on the ground floor.

Head through security and then head through the centre of the airport area – past bubble tea shop, WHSmith and JD Sports.

You will see overhead signs for No1 Lounge, Clubrooms, toilets and gates.

The No1 Lounge is just on the left in the corridor – it is down the same corridor as the toilets.

Book Direct	Book 3rd Party	Priority Pass
£42 for 3 hours	£41.28 with my Holidayextras Discount for 3 hours	£20.60 with Priority Pass Standard Plus (10 included visits)

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 – £42 per adult for a 3 hour stay
• Buy access through via my discount code at Holidayextras – £41.28 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 Membership includes 10 visits so each visit works out to £20.60 each.

• High backed green upholstered chairs and small tables in pairs
• Pairs of sofas and tables
• Dining tables and chairs
• Leather sofa bench seating with small tables and chairs

• Tended bar with full range of alcoholic drinks available
• Soft drinks for self service on the buffet – lemonade, coke and fanta

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.
