Bristol Airport has officially opened its brand-new Executive Escape Lounge, marking a significant milestone in the Airport’s multimillion-pound terminal transformation project.

Located on the first floor of the departure lounge, the new facility offers an additional 140 seats and features floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the Eastern apron, delivering a spacious, modern, and relaxing environment for passengers ahead of their flight.

The newly opened Escape Lounge has been designed to reflect the charm of the South West, with tailored zones for dining, working and relaxing. Customers will find everything from cosy seating with soft cushions, to dedicated quiet areas for business travellers seeking a calm workspace.

In the dining area, customers can enjoy a variety of hot and cold food throughout the day, ranging from breakfast to light suppers, as well as a variety of different West Country alcoholic brands. Self-serve islands offer a selection of teas, coffees, cold drinks, and freshly prepared dishes. Stylish dividers subtly separate the dining and lounge spaces, all set within a backdrop of neutral décor and ambient lighting.

Customers can access the new Escape Lounge via the walkway next to the Cabin bar. The new Escape Lounge is available for all passengers to enjoy, guests can pre-book, pay upon entry or gain access via their airline ticket.

Kate Gwyther, Head of Retail, Bristol Airport: “We’re delighted to officially open our new Escape Lounge. This is more than double the size of the previous lounge and provides an enhanced experience for passengers, whether they are travelling for business or leisure. It’s an exciting step in our ongoing commitment to transform the Airport experience for our customers.”

Robert Hassard, Head of Growth – Experiences, CAVU: “We’re thrilled to be working with Bristol Airport to bring this new lounge experience to life. The space has been designed to give passengers more choice and comfort, whether they’re travelling for business or leisure. At CAVU, we’re focused on creating premium experiences that elevate the journey, and this opening is a fantastic example of how we can support airports in delivering exactly that.”
