Birmingham Airport has three pay-to-enter lounges: the Aspire Lounge from around £20.99 per adult, the No1 Lounge from around £28 per adult, and the premium Clubrooms from around £32 per person. All three sit airside, after security, and are best booked online in advance.
The three lounges at a glance
| Lounge | From price (adult) | From price (child, 2 to 11) | Where |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aspire Lounge | £20.99 | £15.99 | Airside, after security |
| No1 Lounge | £28 | £18 | Airside, after security |
| Clubrooms | £32 per person | not published | Airside, after security, premium |
These are pre-booked entry prices rather than walk-up rates, and lounge pricing can move with demand and season, so treat them as a starting point and confirm the exact price when you book.
Aspire Lounge
Aspire is the cheapest of Birmingham's three lounges, from around £20.99 per adult and £15.99 per child aged 2 to 11. As with the others, it is airside, so you can only reach it once you are through security, and pre-booking online is the reliable way to secure a place rather than turning up on spec.
No1 Lounge
The No1 Lounge sits in the middle of the range, from around £28 per adult and £18 per child aged 2 to 11. It is also pre-booked online and airside, and its higher price over Aspire generally buys more space and a quieter environment, though the research behind this guide does not have a confirmed feature-by-feature breakdown, so check the lounge's own booking page for what is included on the day you fly.
Clubrooms
Clubrooms is Birmingham's premium option, from around £32 per person. It opened as an exclusive lounge alongside the airport's wider investment in its facilities, and it is the one to consider if you want the highest tier of comfort available airside at BHX, again subject to confirming current inclusions when you book.
What you do not get: showers
None of Birmingham's three lounges is confirmed to offer shower facilities as a standard feature. If a shower before or after your flight matters to you, do not assume one is included, confirm it directly with the lounge operator or on the airport's website before you book.
Is a lounge worth it at Birmingham?
A lounge earns its keep when you have built in extra time before your flight and want somewhere comfortable to spend it, rather than the gate area. That pairs naturally with arriving on the earlier side of Birmingham's recommended arrival windows, covered in our guide on how early to arrive at Birmingham Airport. Free wifi is available throughout the terminal anyway, in 30-minute slots, so a lounge is really about space, seating and food rather than being the only place with a signal; see the facilities page for the wider picture.
If all you want is to get through security faster, rather than somewhere to sit afterwards, the Express Lane Fast Track at £7.00 online is a cheaper way to buy back time than any of the three lounges. A lounge makes more sense when you have a genuine gap to fill, for example a longer-than-usual wait after an early arrival, a delayed flight, or simply wanting a proper seat and something to eat before boarding.
How to book
All three lounges are pre-booked online rather than pay-on-the-door, and availability is not guaranteed if you leave it late. Book once you have your flight time confirmed, and build your airport arrival time around it using the guidance on the facilities page.
