New luxury lounge with adults-only area to open at Leeds Bradford Airport

Wednesday, 25 March 2026 07:58

The Six Eight One lounge at Leeds Bradford Airport.

A new premium airport lounge featuring an adults-only and quiet area is set to open at Leeds Bradford Airport next week.

From 1st April, the Six Eight One lounge will be located within the airport’s extended terminal and is part of ongoing investment to improve passenger facilities.

Designed with comfort and space in mind, it aims to provide an alternative to the busy departure areas.

The lounge will include a dedicated adults-only section, creating a more relaxed environment for those looking to avoid the noise and crowds of airport terminals.

It will also welcome families - however a dedicated 'quiet area' of 65 seats has been included for adult-only travellers and business users.

A spokesperson for LBA said:

"For those who want to relax in style and comfort before their flight, the Six Eight One Lounge is your perfect treat. Located in the newly extended terminal, this lounge is designed for travellers who appreciate the finer details.

"Whether you’re jetting off for a romantic getaway, a solo adventure, or a well-deserved family holiday, the Six Eight One Lounge provides the ideal environment to unwind and begin your journey.

"This is a space crafted for those who want to relax before their flight, away from the hustle and bustle."

Passengers using the lounge can expect a range of amenities, including buffet-style food, complimentary drinks and table service.

Menus will change throughout the day, with breakfast options followed by a selection of hot and cold dishes later on.

A full bar will also be available, serving beers, wines and spirits, alongside a signature cocktail inspired by Yorkshire ingredients.

The space will feature a mix of seating areas, Wi-Fi access and flight information screens, allowing travellers to unwind while keeping track of their departure.

Access to the Six Eight One lounge will be available to book in advance directly via Leeds Bradford Airport. Read more about Six Eight One here.
