Birmingham Airport Lounges
Birmingham Airport · Birmingham, England
Birmingham Airport (BHX) runs a single terminal, so all its lounges sit airside after one security screening. The field is led by independent brands — Aspire, No.1 Traveller and the premium Clubrooms — plus a dedicated Emirates Lounge. Most accept Priority Pass or DragonPass, and several also sell a walk-in day pass.

Where we'd actually go.
Aspire Lounge
The Aspire Lounge is the most flexible way into a BHX lounge — it takes Priority Pass, SkyTeam and oneworld status, and sits airside with floor-to-ceiling runway windows. A reliable all-rounder for most travellers who don't have a specific airline lounge to aim for.
Clubrooms
Clubrooms is the newest and highest-tier lounge at Birmingham, with à-la-carte dining, full table service and a proper bar in calm, private surroundings. Open to all over-12s for a paid entry fee, with champagne packages available — a clear step up from the buffet lounges.
No.1 Lounge
The two-level No.1 Traveller is the largest lounge at the airport, with cathedral ceilings, a mezzanine and runway views. A staffed bar pours complimentary wine, beer and spirits alongside freshly prepared hot and cold dishes — the roomiest option when other lounges fill up.
The Emirates Lounge
The Emirates Lounge is the only branded-airline lounge at BHX, a 7,000 sq ft space with luxury leather seating for up to 117 guests. It serves Emirates First and Business Class passengers and eligible Skywards members flying out of Birmingham.

Birmingham Airport lounges by terminal.
Main Terminal
Birmingham runs a single passenger terminal, so every lounge is airside after one security screening. The independent lounges — Aspire, No.1 Traveller, Clubrooms and AeroSpa — cover the Priority Pass, DragonPass and walk-in day-pass routes, while the dedicated Emirates Lounge serves that airline's premium passengers. All offer runway views and sit a short walk from the departure gates.

How to get into lounges at BHX.
Birmingham is a flexible airport for lounge access — most of its independent lounges work on Priority Pass or DragonPass, and several also sell a walk-in day pass so you can pay per visit without any membership. Airline access is limited to the Emirates Lounge for that carrier's premium passengers. Because BHX has a single terminal, every lounge is airside after one security screening, so check your access route rather than your terminal before you travel.
Priority Pass
Priority Pass is accepted at the Aspire Lounge and at Clubrooms at Birmingham. Present a valid membership card with your boarding pass; coverage can vary, so check the per-lounge page before you travel.
Priority PassDragonPass
DragonPass opens several of the independent lounges at Birmingham, including No1 Birmingham, AeroSpa and the Aspire Lounge (North). If you carry DragonPass, it's a useful single membership at BHX.
DragonPassWalk-in day pass
Several Birmingham lounges sell entry at the door, including Clubrooms and the No.1 Traveller lounge, so you can pay per visit without a membership. Booking online ahead of time is usually cheaper than paying on arrival and secures your spot at busy times.
Airline & alliance lounges
The Emirates Lounge serves Emirates First and Business Class passengers and eligible Skywards members. SkyTeam, Star Alliance and oneworld status also reach some of the independent lounges that participate in those alliance programmes.
