The Hangar Lounge
★4.9(1,016 reviews)MAN
Terminal 3's British Airways and Priority Pass club.
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.
Crowding · varies
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.
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.
