Review: Aspire Lounge Edinburgh Airport

The Aspire Lounge Edinburgh Airport is one of 2 Priority Pass lounges that you can fill your belly and sippy sip-sip while you wait for your flight. The other is the No 1 Lounge and they do have distinctly different feels to them. I had the pleasure of kickin’ it at both lounges with my parents while we kept getting delayed and delayed and delayed on an Aer Lingues to Dublin. We spent about 4 hours in the Aspire Lounge and got to really get our “feels” in for the lounge.

My Priority Pass has gotten a WORKOUT this year.

I actually have two memberships…one from my American Express Business Platinum and another from my Citi Prestige, and I always use the one from the Citi Prestige as it allows 3 guests to accompany me.

Hang out areas

The Aspire has a lot of space to chill. We were fortunate to grab a booth and nestle in. There is free wifi and we were in there for MUCH longer that we had planned.

Food and beverage options

The food isn’t amazing, but it’s good and plentiful. We were actually there for two meal options.

Overall

The biggest negative of the lounge is the lack of the bathrooms in-lounge. I mean…that’s kinda cray. Other than that, I thought the lounge offered everything that you’d expect from a Priority Pass lounge. I will have you know that it was incredibly busy while we were in there so I would snag a table as quickly as possible. The lounge is just so easy to get into by either paying or having a 3rd party membership.  In terms of comparing it to the No 1 – the No 1 is newer and nicer aesthetically. In terms of food…I’d say they are about the same level, but if you wanna feel like you ish don’t stink – go No 1.
