About this lounge

The Executive by Escape Lounges is a paid-entry lounge in Terminal 2 (T2) at Manchester Airport, airside on the upper departure lounge level. It opened on 9 July 2026 next to the Escape Lounge and is the more exclusive of the two: Manchester Airport says it is not currently accepting Priority Pass or DragonPass cards, so the only way in is to pay. It is open daily 03:00–20:45, with food service stopping half an hour before closing. Entry opens two and a half hours before departure, and minors must be with a paying adult. Airport photos show a bar, lounge seating and a dining area; the airport does not publish a full menu or facility list, so we don't list one here.
