Our flight was as 07:45 and we arrived at the airport at 05:45. By the time we checked the bags in it was around 06:00 and we started boarding at around 07:10. This gave us only an hour and ten minutes in the lounge and I would therefore not recommend it to early flyers. On arrival at the departure lounge there were a large number of stag parties so the lounge provided a nice quiet area to relax. There were cereals, tea/coffee and fruit available but no hot snacks, maybe a bacon or sausage sandwich wouldnt have gone amiss. I dont know whats provided at other times of day but again maybe packed sandwiches or baguettes would be a good idea. There is a good range of alchohol and I understand that you can enter the lounge three hours before your flight so if you were flying later in the day you could probably get your monies worth. All in all I wouldnt recommend paying £18.00 a head for this experience.
