I have visited the Six Eight One Lounge at Leeds Bradford Airport on a few occasions now. I originally reviewed it when it was just adults only, then reviewed it after April of this year as they had switched things around a bit. There is no longer an adults only lounge, instead the Six Eight One Lounge is divided into a family friendly lounge and a quiet zone.
My initial reviews were for very early flights and I have lots of photos of the breakfast offering. My latest visit was at lunchtime, so I took lots more photos! If you are interested in what is available at lunchtime – scroll to the end of the review to see everything!
The main food and drink offering is in the main, family friendly area, but as you can see, the Quiet Zone also has tea and coffee facilities (and of course you can go between the two if you don’t have children).
I liked the look of these booths!
We plumped for two generous rocking chairs with a view!
The below photo is of the main area:
We have put together a video review here of what is now the family friendly area where the bar and food are:
The main area of the Six Eight One Lounge is family friendly. Here you will find the buffet and bar.
We took an early morning flight so got to try out breakfast. You can choose to use the lounge for either 2 or 3 hours before your flight with prices starting at £34 for two hours.
It was fairly busy when we arrived but there were plenty of places to sit. I snapped a shot of the breakfast menu:
We got settled into two lovely comfortable chairs and then I fetched juice and coffee from the buffet.
There is a fully stocked bar within the Six Eight One Lounge, with a QR code on your table where you can order drinks to be served to you. In addition to the juice and coffee on the buffet, there is also a whole selection of breakfast items.
From a traditional full English with bacon, eggs, sausage, beans, hash browns, etc
You will also find cereal:
Fruit:
And an assortment of pastries:
There are lots of screens advising you of what time your flight will be boarding etc, plus the lady on reception was very friendly and helpful with times and instructions.
I have to say that I did feel very smug walking past all the tired people in the main airport area, then waltzing into our private airport lounge. If you are planning to pay for food and a drink anyway in the airport then this is definitely something to consider to get your holiday off to a fabulous start!
You also get private toilets in the lounge (thought I’d mention!).
Finally, if you are interested in what beers (and wines) are on tap:
Lunch at the Six Eight One Lounge at Leeds Bradford Airport
Our latest visit to the Six Eight One Lounge was at lunchtime, although breakfast was still available for fans of an all-day-breakfast.
There were lots of cooked options including Chicken Madras, Szechuan Chicken, Southern Style BBQ Chicken and Chicken Jalfrezi.
A pasta bake and rice were also available.
If you fancied something lighter you could opt for salad or cheese, ham and crackers.
For those with a sweet tooth there were lots of cakes and scones.
And this huge fruit dish.
Just like a breakfast there was a full bar as well as hot drinks available.
