Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport's (MSP) first common-use lounge is now open for business.
Located in Terminal 1-Lindbergh on the mezzanine level of the Airport Mall, Escape Lounge opened its doors today to travelers of all airlines. For an entry fee, any traveler passing through MSP can enjoy complimentary food and drinks, free WiFi, a variety of newspapers and magazines, and a comfortable and quiet atmosphere.
Manchester Airport Group (M.A.G.-USA) out of England designed the spacious 5,000-sq-ft lounge and serves as its operator. In addition to the new lounge at MSP, M.A.G. operates five common-use lounges across its four U.K. airports, collectively serving 500,000 passengers per year.
"M.A.G.'s Escape Lounge is one more way everyone who travels through Minneapolis-St. Paul International will be able to enjoy a V.I.P. travel experience," said Jeff Hamiel, Executive Director/CEO of the Metropolitan Airports Commission. "We are proud to be the first U.S. airport to offer an Escape Lounge, an amenity that has proven popular among travelers overseas."
The daily cost for using the lounge is $40 when you pre-book online, $45 at the door and $30 for kids.
