Terminal 3's British Airways and Priority Pass club.

About this lounge

The Hangar Lounge at Manchester Airport Terminal 3 is a club for British Airways elite Business Class customers and Priority Pass members. It serves as British Airways' lounge in Manchester pending the airline's planned relocation to Terminal 2 as part of the airport's ongoing transformation programme, so it's a transitional space rather than a permanent flagship. For now, it's the practical choice for eligible BA passengers and Priority Pass holders flying from Terminal 3, offering a comfortable place to wait before the flight with the usual lounge facilities. Because it carries both a British Airways and a Priority Pass identity, it's worth checking current access terms for your ticket or membership before you travel, and confirming which terminal it's operating from at the time of your flight.

A workable spot for light tasks before a flight, with Wi-Fi and quieter seating areas. It's a contract airline lounge rather than a dedicated business space, so it suits email and reading.

Food & drink

Refreshments, snacks and a bar serving alcoholic and soft drinks in keeping with a contract airline lounge. The exact selection can vary, so treat it as light pre-flight catering rather than a full hot buffet.
