New airport lounge pass scheme launched

New airport lounge pass scheme launched
Holidaymakers can now take advantage of a new scheme to allow flyers to gain access to a host of airport lounges around the world.

The Airport Angel programme enables passengers to access more than 200 lounges across the globe for an annual fee of £65 plus £15 per visit.

Leapfrog, the company behind the scheme, also said that flyers will be able to benefit from an airport text scheme, where travellers are sent real-time text messages that guide them through their air journeys.

The message service includes information on delays, check-in, boarding and arrivals.

"Whilst Britons are addicted to their overseas travel, many of us are now opting for economy class or no-frills airlines," explained Simon Ward of Leapfrog.

"Airport Angel is the smart way for economy class fliers or those using no-frills airlines to upgrade to airport lounge access without incurring the cost of a business class seat," he added.

Earlier this year, British Airways announced that users of its UK airport lounges can now benefit from free Wi-Fi internet access following the signing of an agreement with BT.
