Glasgow Airport has one terminal and two lounges you can pay to use: the UpperDeck Lounge and the Lomond Lounge. Both are airside after security and open to passengers of any airline. They are quite different, though. UpperDeck takes families and stays open into the evening; Lomond is for adults only, is more of a dining lounge, and closes in the late afternoon. Whichever you choose, the airport's rule is a maximum stay of three hours from your booked arrival time. If you are still deciding whether a lounge is worth it at all, our guide on whether an airport lounge is worth it covers that.
UpperDeck Lounge
- Where: airside in the main terminal after security and duty free, on the upper floor, reached by lift or escalator.
- Included: a hot breakfast buffet, including a Scottish breakfast, and later in the day a hot buffet with dishes such as curry and pasta, plus soup, sandwiches, salads and snacks. Tea, coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine and spirits are included; prosecco and champagne cost extra. There is free Wi-Fi, charging points, workstations and runway views.
- Children: welcome, with a dedicated children's play area. Infants up to 3 go free, children's prices cover ages 4 to 17, and adult prices start at 18.
- Timing: stays of up to three hours, and only before your flight leaves. The airport lists it as open daily from 04:45 to 20:30, and lounge listings say late arrivals are not accepted in the last hour before closing.
- Suits: families, evening departures and anyone who wants a straightforward lounge with a full buffet. The dress code is smart casual. It can also be booked through Aspire.
Lomond Lounge
- Where: airside in the departures area after security. Take the stairs to the right of Accessorize, or the lift opposite Boots.
- Included: breakfast and lunch dishes made by in-house chefs with Scottish produce, from lighter bites and platters to hot options, a self-service barista area, and premium drinks from the Loch Lomond Group, including whisky, gin and champagne. Soft drinks are unlimited, but alcohol is limited to four drinks per person. There are runway views, free Wi-Fi, charging points and a business suite with a large TV.
- Children: it cannot be booked for anyone under 18. You may occasionally see children who are there through an airline booking.
- Timing: open daily from 05:00 to 17:00, with a maximum stay of three hours. Priority Pass holders cannot walk in and must pre-book, and as a small lounge it is safest for everyone to book ahead.
- Suits: adults on a morning or early-afternoon flight who want a better meal and a quieter room. It costs more than UpperDeck, and it is no use for an evening departure.
Two things to know before you book UpperDeck. It is closed on Christmas Day, and its washrooms are being refurbished, so you may find some noise and limited toilet access inside until the work is finished. Opening hours at both lounges can also change with the seasons, so check the times for your date when you book.
British Airways and Emirates have their own lounges, for their eligible passengers only.
Which one for you
- Families: the UpperDeck Lounge. It is the only one that takes children.
- Evening flights: the UpperDeck Lounge, as the Lomond Lounge closes at 5pm.
- Adults wanting a better meal or a whisky before an early flight: the Lomond Lounge, as long as you are happy with the four-drink limit.
- Busy periods: book either lounge ahead; the airport offers savings for booking in advance, and space on the day is not guaranteed.
