No I don’t think so - not at Glasgow anyway. You can do with Marella but I suppose that’s because they belong to Tui who supply the planes. However, in my opinion that’s the only benefit of going with Marella! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately not. We did get fast track security at Gatwick as a perk but apart from that no other airport perk I'm afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thejuggler Posted July 18, 2023 #4 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Generally no because unlike a scheduled business class or first class ticket none of your premium fare is going to the lounge operator. Sign up to Manchester Airport email alerts and you may get offers for lounge access. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainPedantic Posted July 19, 2023 #5 Share Posted July 19, 2023 As above, unfortunately no - and quite a few people assume that you would. We had pre-booked a Manchester lounge for our flights back in November last year, and had to wait 25 mins in a queue while two family groups argued rather heatedly to get in (without success). As Thejuggler said above, sign up to the airport email and you'll probably get offers for parking and lounges every couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always book airport lounges at Manchester and make sure we arrive early, though prices have risen a lot since covid. We booked one for a P&O Malta flight, but the check in queue took ages and not long after we got to the lounge we were called to the gate, incredibly early. We did not go immediately, but they kept calling so thought we had better head off. Then we spent a very long time at the gate. Would think twice before booking a lounge for a P&I flight in future, though if there is a delay to the flight it is well worth having. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get discounts through Holiday extra's as well, once you use them the offers for future one keep coming, so worth comparing both. Not heard about the airport emails, have to try that one.

CaptainPedantic Posted July 21, 2023 #10 Share Posted July 21, 2023 You just need to sign up to their marketing - there are links on both these pages: Parking: https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/parking/ Lounges: https://www.manchesterairport.co.uk/at-the-airport/airport-lounges/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
