After Security, continue through Duty Free into the main departures area. Walk towards the Tap & Brew bar, turn right, then take the stairs or lift down to the lower-level concourse towards the boarding gates. The Aspire lounge reception is a short walk ahead on the right; Luxe guests should enter reception and turn left.
The lounge is less than five minutes from all boarding gates. Gates 3 and 7 are particularly close, as are Gates 19 and 20.
Luxe by Aspire is a smaller, quieter and more intimate lounge designed for both relaxation and productivity. Contemporary décor, soft lighting and flexible seating create distinct areas for working, meetings, dining or unwinding before a flight. The signature curved feature wall takes inspiration from the Angel of the North.
Guests can enjoy views across the aircraft apron and runway, while an individual private booth provides a quieter space for focused work or calls. Luxe hosts welcome guests and help them settle into the lounge.
The lounge offers complimentary carefully curated hot meals, light bites and snacks, together with soft drinks and a wider selection of premium wines and spirits. Drinks are available from the island-style bar, and optional paid upgrades may include an à la carte menu, cocktails, fine wine and champagne.
Standard visits are available for up to three hours before the scheduled departure time. The lounge is generally intended for guests aged 18 and over; Aspire states that a child may only enter when travelling on a Business Class ticket and accompanied by an adult.
