An extensive food menu is available offering
traditional Scottish fayre such as haggis and potato scones, as
well as fish and chips and burgers.
Gail Taylor, Director of Retail and Property at
Edinburgh Airport, said, “Creating spaces that add a touch of
luxury can really enhance the passenger experience and get that
holiday or trip of a lifetime off to the best possible start, and
the new Plaza Premium Lounge offers just that. Working with
partners who understand travel hospitality and showcasing some of
the country’s very best products will ensure our global passengers
leave with a world-class taste of Scotland.”
The lounge is open daily to all travellers
regardless of airline or class of travel, and without pre booking.
Travellers can enjoy Plaza Premium Lounge’s opening offer of up to
20% for walk-in and online bookings, or sign up to Plaza Premium
Group’s rewards programme, Smart Traveller, to receive year
round benefits.
Select corporate cards, including AMEX Platinum
and Dragon Pass, provide complimentary access to the lounge.
“We were very thoughtful about our guests’ needs
and their profile when designing this lounge. We wanted a space
that considered the different types of travellers, be it business,
leisure and even the little ones,” said Okan Kufeci, Senior Vice
President EMEA - Plaza Premium Group. “Travelling can be quite
stressful, even more so when you have children with you. We hope
to be able to help travellers and their little ones cope with the
stress of travelling by providing a space to unwind and also a
space for children to play and to be entertained during their
dwell time.”
Furniture and materials used in the lounge have
been sourced from local suppliers to minimize environmental
impact. The lighting scheme is comprised of 100% LED lighting, and
the lounge has installed energy-efficient appliances.
