Leeds Bradford Airport's lounge offering is small but genuinely good value: the Yorkshire Premier Lounge at £24 per person includes Fast Track security, which most other UK airports charge separately for. This is what to expect, why the bundle pricing works in your favour, and the realistic value compared to other UK airport lounges.
Yorkshire Premier Lounge
- Pre-book from: £24 per person.
- Includes: Lounge access AND Fast Track Security in a single price.
- What you get: Buffet, complimentary drinks (beer, wine, soft), Wi-Fi, comfortable seating, dedicated check-in option.
- Children under 12: free (unusual; most other UK lounges discount kids but do not include them free).
- Best for: Most LBA travellers. The £24 price beats most UK airport lounge access plus Fast Track combined.
Why £24 is good value
At Birmingham, equivalent access is Aspire (£36.99) plus Express Lane (£6) for £42.99. At Bristol, Escape Lounge (£36.99) plus Fast Track (£6) for £42.99. LBA's £24 bundle delivers the same combination of services for less than half. If you have a family, the free kids policy makes it more competitive again.
The reason: LBA's airport itself is smaller, the lounge runs on a tighter operating model, and the airport prefers a single bundled price to two separate bookings.
What to expect on the day
- Arrive at the airport with your booking confirmation. Check in at your airline desk first if you are dropping a bag.
- Use the Yorkshire Premier Fast Track lane at security. Show your booking and you bypass the standard queue.
- Walk to the lounge. It is on the airside concourse, signposted from security.
- Present your boarding pass at the desk; complimentary food and drinks all available throughout your stay.
- Up to 3 hours of access standard.
Membership card access
Yorkshire Premier accepts most major lounge memberships including Priority Pass, DragonPass, and LoungeKey. The exact policy varies by time slot, particularly during peak summer holiday weeks. Check your card's app the day of travel.
Winter-weather note
LBA's hilltop position means winter mornings can see fog and occasional snow. The lounge opens early (typically 4am) for the first wave of departures, but check flight status before leaving home if visibility is poor.
Frequently asked questions
Are kids really free at Yorkshire Premier?
Yes, under-12s are admitted free with a paying adult. This is unusual at UK airport lounges and makes Yorkshire Premier the cheapest family option of the lounges we cover.
Is the Fast Track really included?
Yes, in the £24 price. You use the dedicated lane at security on the way through.
What about hot food?
Yorkshire Premier's food is more limited than the bigger airport lounges, but includes hot items at peak times. If you want a multi-course meal pre-departure, eat at the terminal restaurants instead.
Are showers available?
No. LBA's smaller scale means shower facilities are not part of the lounge.
