Get up to 40% off No 1 Lounges – an easy way to avoid the airport crowds this Summer

No 1 Lounges has launched a new Summer promotion.

Click here, use the code SUPERSUMMER, and you can save up to 40% on your visits.  You need to book by 14th July for visits by 30th September.

As an example, Luton’s new Clubrooms lounge opened earlier this week (see website here).  This should be a major relief to passengers at the airport, especially as the existing Aspire lounge is often full.

I haven’t had any feedback yet but – as Clubrooms is the No 1 Lounge’s ‘premium brand’ – I am expecting good things. The problem is that Luton Clubrooms is NOT accessible via Priority Pass, Lounge Club or LoungeKey.  DragonPass cardholders can get access at a reduced rate of £10.

This is not an issue at Birmingham – Priority Pass etc can all upgrade for £10 on the door.

The standard price for the Luton Clubrooms lounge is £27 – £10 lower than normal as an opening deal.  Via this offer, it drops further to £21.40. 

The Birmingham Clubrooms lounge which we reviewed today drops from £34 to £20.40 – a genuine 40% discount.

Discounts are not always as big as this, but it is worth a look if you have any upcoming flights from Gatwick (both terminals), Edinburgh, Birmingham, Luton or Heathrow T3 or T4.  The sale link is here – don’t forget the SUPERSUMMER code.
