Yorkshire’s Airport Reveals New Departure Lounge

2012-08-02 — /travelprnews.com/ — To mark Yorkshire Day, Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) today, (Wednesday 1st August, 2012), opened its redesigned Yorkshire Premier Lounge.

As part of the airport’s £11million terminal development, the award winning departure facility now offers passengers the choice between two separate areas; an exclusive business zone or stylish leisure lounge. Both have been designed to exclusively cater for the specific needs of these departing passengers with an 85% increase in floor space allowing 165 guests to start their journey in style.

The new leisure lounge will maximise pre-flight enjoyment, with consoles and games to keep the children entertained, allowing parents to unwind with a drink in spacious and informal surroundings. The business lounge will cater exclusively for adults and business passengers.

Passengers will now be greeted at the Yorkshire Premier Lounge’s reception area before deciding which area is more suitable for their requirements. Both lounges will offer similar facilities, including, complimentary refreshment zones, satellite TV and the latest magazines and newspapers and complimentary Wi-Fi.

The Yorkshire Premier Lounge – ‘For Business’

The Yorkshire Premier Lounge – ‘For Business’ caters solely for adults with a relaxed, stylish ambience and formal area to work; free Wi-Fi and computer access as well as daily newspapers mean there isn’t a moment wasted. The sumptuous seating, practical work areas and elegant surroundings reflect the signature style of the business lounge.

The Yorkshire Premier Lounge – ‘For Leisure’

For families and holidaymakers looking for a more informal way to relax, with large screen TVs, newspapers & magazines for the adults and game consoles (including a PS3, an Xbox and a Nintendo Wii), board games and other activities are available to keep the children entertained.  Parents may relax whilst supervising their children in the clearly visible children’s zone.

‘For Leisure’ has a capacity of 75 guests; the light and open environment is designed to provide a perfect pre-departure experience, with comfy seating and a spacious feel, for that relaxing start to a holiday.
