This is a brief review of the refurbished Aspire lounge at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. I won’t call it a full review because there isn’t much in the way of context for the pictures.
This is part of our series of reviews of airport lounges across the UK. You see all of the reviews here.
18 months ago reader Bill wrote our original review of the Aspire Lounge at Liverpool John Lennon Airport. The lounge reopened in July 2018 after a full refurbishment so Bill popped in briefly to take some photographs.
It is open from 4.30am until 8pm daily – note the fairly early closing time.
The Aspire Lounge at Liverpool Airport is located inside the departure lounge after security on the lower level. You pass it on the way to all gates so it can’t be missed.
These photographs run in order – imagine you are standing in the centre of the lounge and turning from left to right. There is probably a clever way of editing them into a panorama but we don’t know how …..
This is not a huge facility by any means, but at the same time I have never heard any reports of it being very busy.

It is worth noting that the lounge offers what they call ‘light bites’ and small snacks, so don’t come here expecting a full meal. There are no toilets in the lounge and you need to use those on the main concourse.
Despite these niggles, all in all this look like a surprisingly modern facility for a regional airport.
The new Aspire lounge at Liverpool Airport can be accessed by Priority Pass (buy one, or free with American Express Platinum), Lounge Club (two free lounge visits if you get the free – for the first year – American Express Gold) and all other major lounge pass networks.
If you want to book a space in the Liverpool Airport Aspire lounge in advance, you can do it on the Aspire / Servisair website here.
