We visited the luxurious new Escape Lounge at Bristol Airport and were blown away by the stunning views

Bristol Airport’s brand-new Escape Lounge has officially opened, marking a significant milestone in the Airport’s multi-million-pound terminal transformation project.

The new facility offers 140 additional seats and features floor-to-ceiling glass windows overlooking the Eastern apron, and has tailored zones for dining, working and relaxing, including quiet areas for business travellers seeking a calm workspace.

In the dining area, customers can enjoy a variety of hot and cold food throughout the day, ranging from breakfast to light suppers, as well as a variety of different West Country alcoholic brands, and self-serve islands offering a selection of teas, coffees, cold drinks, and freshly prepared dishes.

BristolWorld had the opportunity to visit the new lounge, and we were blown away by the views!

The facilities offered a very relaxing atmosphere, with pop music lightly playing through the speakers in an nonintrusive way.

Despite visiting the lounge a couple of hours before its closing time, there was a broad range of freshly prepared dishes available on the self serving islands.

I opted for a warm bowl of ramen (which was vegan friendly), some turmeric rice and tandoori chicken and took a seat in the area overlooking the runway (which is the only spot in the airport you can enjoy these views from).

The ramen was light, with a spicy kick and a sweet undertone and mostly contained carrots and bamboo shots.

The chicken tandoori was tender, and ever-so-chewy, which the rice, unfortunately, had a mixed texture - mostly soft, but with some hard pieces.

I also made use of the many self-serve coffee machines, with a range of syrups available on the counter next to them.

I ended my meal with double choc muffin which was soft, dense, and airy.

Overall, it was good, relaxing experience and the staff were very friendly.

The new escape lounge is located on the first floor of the departure lounge, via the walkway next to the Cabin bar.
