With airport lounges your trip will begin smoothly in a luxurious and comfort way. You can now say goodbye to overcrowded airports, lack of seating, long lines for the restaurants and having nowhere to charge your phone.
ASPIRE AIRPORT LOUNGE LONDON LUTON
When I flew to Tel Aviv from London Luton, Lounge Buddy sent me to review Luton’s VIP Lounge called Aspire. This came as a blessing because not only did I got to escape the busy crowds at the duty free, but also I was able to relax and enjoy my time there stress free.
Luton Airport has been undergoing renovations for some time now. At the moment, there is more and more flights coming out from there but no proper seating that can accomodate all the passengers, due to the constructions. It all seems like chaos and there is nothing peaceful about flying thru Luton airport.
However, Aspire lounge was a safe heaven to get away from all of this commotion.
MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE
I’ve had a very pleasant experience visiting the lounge. I was greeted nicely by the receptionist who also briefly gave me an introduction about the lounge and the buffet. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming. It felt like each passenger was treated as a VIP by the lovely stuff.
I had a long 5-hour flight ahead and so it was great to be able to charge my phone and have lunch. Especially, it was good to avoid the queues for the airport’s cafes and shops.
Indeed, Aspire lounge provided me with an escape of the busy and crowded airport and provided me with a relaxed environment to recharge for my flight.
THE FOOD
The lounge offers different buffet menus for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Some of the food options for breakfast which is served until 11:00 includes: porridge, granola, eggs, sausages and more. When I attended the lounge lunch was served and I enjoyed eating the quinoa, lentils, beans and tomato soup. There was also a good range of delicious salads and breads. For dinner, there is a set menu with a variety of foods. In addition, there are some made-to-order dishes that can be all yours for an extra cost. Snacks such as crisps, olives and nuts were offered as well.
When it comes to drinks, the options were also very good and varied. Alcoholic drinks, coffee, tea or sodas were all available at the lounge.
THE FACILITIES
There is a dedicated “quit zone” at the back of the lounge with comfortable seating and relaxing atmosphere. Don’t worry about charing your phone, because at Aspire lounge you have the access to USB, European and UK plugs. There is also a complimentary wifi access that is pretty reliable.
Another great facility was the SnoozePods, which provides a relaxing bed to nap. Inside the lounge, you can also visit Bliss Spa. The spa offers quick treatments such as facials, massages and nails treatments for an extra cost, of course.
THE DESIGN
Stylish is the word that I would use to describe the design of the lounge. White marble tables and purple sofas and chairs- was the theme of the lounge. However, not only it was stylish, it was also very comfortable.

This was a really interesting post, thanks for sharing your travel experience.
It looks like you had such a pleasant pre-flight lounge experience. I really like the look of the snoozepods they look really comfortable.
This looks like heaven in an airport! I think it’s so important to find some comfort in the airport because it can be so nervewracking.
This looked pretty cool! Never knew about this kind of VIP hubs in Airports, seems like it would be tough to leave with all the amenities available!
How fun that must be to walk in like a first class customer. So the main food and drink are all included in the cost of entry?
This looks first class. It’s like a fine dining restaurant or a hotel lounge. It’s a great place to stay while waiting for your flight.
What a fun way to travel. I love all the pictures you took. It gives a better idea of all the amenities.
For an airport VIP lounge, this one is pretty luxurious with its napping pods! I don’t have much experience in visiting them, but since I fly often, I might see if I can get a day pass during a layover for one of my long-haul 10+ hour flights.
Waiting for a flight at such a stylish lounge will be a great experience…loved the design marble tables and purple sofas purple !!!
This is perfect especially for people who are about to take on a long flight! It’s good to have a place where you can relax and recharge! Love all their services.
Wow! What a lounge! Looks like a hotel! That food and drink collection is awesome. That that Bliss Spa! Nice!
Honestly, I never knew that you can buy passes to an airport lounge. Gotta check it out. Thanks for sharing about Lounge Buddy.
I usually don’t care about lounges but it’s awesome to know that there’s a place where you can stay while you’re waiting for your flight, especially if you’re going to have a really long one. I love that you can wait in comfort when you have to. This is definitely worth it!
Thank you for the great post
