I visited the Six Eight One Lounge at Leeds Bradford Airport last week. I had previously reviewed it when it was just adults only. Since April of this year they have switched things around a bit, so I was glad to revisit and update this review. 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.
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:
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 quiet when we arrived, which is understandable at such an early hour of the morning but it meant we had almost the whole Lounge to ourselves. 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:
