Gail Taylor, Director of Retail and Property at Edinburgh Airport, said, “Creating spaces that add a touch of luxury can really enhance the passenger experience and get that holiday or trip of a lifetime off to the best possible start, and the new Plaza Premium Lounge offers just that. Working with partners who understand travel hospitality and showcasing some of the country’s very best products will ensure our global passengers leave with a world-class taste of Scotland.”

The lounge is open daily to all travellers regardless of airline or class of travel, and without pre booking.

Select corporate cards, including AMEX Platinum and Dragon Pass, provide complimentary access to the lounge.

“We were very thoughtful about our guests’ needs and their profile when designing this lounge. We wanted a space that considered the different types of travellers, be it business, leisure and even the little ones,” said Okan Kufeci, Senior Vice President EMEA - Plaza Premium Group. “Travelling can be quite stressful, even more so when you have children with you. We hope to be able to help travellers and their little ones cope with the stress of travelling by providing a space to unwind and also a space for children to play and to be entertained during their dwell time.”

Furniture and materials used in the lounge have been sourced from local suppliers to minimize environmental impact. The lighting scheme is comprised of 100% LED lighting, and the lounge has installed energy-efficient appliances.
