How To Buy Access to the Plaza Premium Terminal 2

Book Direct	Book 3rd Party	Priority Pass
£44.10 for 2 hours	£40.85 with my Holidayextras Discount for 3 hours £38 with LoungePair for a refundable lounge pass	£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 Plaza Premium 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 on the Plaza Premium – £44.10 per adult for a 2 hour stay
• Buy access through via my discount code at Holidayextras – £40.85 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.

Inside the Plaza Premium Lounge – My Experience

I visited this lounge after being in the No1 Lounge in Terminal 2. Given how busy the No1 lounge was I was surprised by how quiet the Plaza Premium lounge was – it was around operating at around 10% capacity when I visited.

The lounge is set at the back of the terminal with the entrance beside the airline service desks.

There was quite a large reception area and then you enter the lounge which is large.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Tables and chairs for dining near the buffet
• Upholstered chairs with small tables between
• A range of leather armchairs with tables
• Tub chairs and tables
• High tables and bar stools

The lounge is wide and spacious, with high ceilings. There are partitioned areas throughout the lounge and a separate TV room beside the bar.

There are showers in this lounge which are £27.50 for 30 minutes. There are also private resting rooms which are £99 for 3 hours. These are mini bedrooms with their own shower and toilet.

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 readers discount) £20.60
