Manchester's flagship airline lounge — Emirates First and Business Class, with runway views.

About this lounge

The Emirates Lounge is Manchester Airport's flagship airline lounge, dedicated to Emirates' own premium passengers. It seats around 147 guests, with floor-to-ceiling windows giving sweeping views of the runway — a spacious, polished setting for the long-haul flights Emirates runs from Manchester. The lounge offers a high-quality hot and cold buffet with a large self-service spread, plus a generous self-service selection of alcoholic beverages alongside soft drinks and coffee. It's geared towards a relaxed, comfortable wait before boarding, with the standard of catering and finish you'd expect from an Emirates branded lounge. Access is reserved for Emirates First and Business Class passengers and eligible Skywards members, so it's a ticket-and-tier lounge rather than a pay-in or membership one.
