Escape or Aspire Manchester T2

Hi Guys,
We are looking to book a lounge for our flight next year. It will be a Monday lunchtime flight and we are wanting somewhere quiet, away from the hustle and bustle to sit.

Does anyone know what the difference is between these 2 lounges?

Thanks

Definitely Escape. It�s lovely, the Aspire lounge is awful.

Thanks LadyDeb's - can I ask, why didn't you like the Aspire?

Far too overbooked, scruffy and run down, rubbish array of food that was demolished the moment more came out due to how many people were in there.

My vote is for the Escape as well.

I have just booked ours for next year and got various quotes for 3 adults, child and an infant ranging from �104 to �78.20. Checkout the MSE site and click on the links. I booked through holiday extras in the end.

We went the Escape last year on a freebie with the Amex card and really liked it, nice and peaceful with lots of food and drinks inc wine

. We also went to the one at Orlando and we really didn't like that one at all.

We did escape lounge about 4 years ago. really liked it. I do find they are quite overpriced though depending on how much you eat/drink and when you go in. I always look for offers but struggle to find any.

Escape all the way, Aspire is one of the worst lounges I�ve been in.

With the new T2 extension is due to open next summer, what's going to happen with the lounges?

I went to the Aspire lounge at Manchester airport in April and it was fine. It all looked new, so perhaps it's had a refurb? Food , drink etc all edible.
