Edinburgh Airport's plush new 'premium' lounge is now open to passengers.
Boasting a gin bar and beautiful dining area, the Plaza Premium Lounge is set to 'offer members a spot of luxury' before they fly out on holiday.
As well as the art deco bar - which includes three bespoke Edinburgh Gin cocktails on its menu - travellers can relax with views out to the runway in the 'quiet zone', while the lounge is also family -friendly, with a separate 'interactive zone' for children featuring games and a small climbing wall.

Scottish landmarks are referenced across the lounge through its traditional tartan and artwork, with the furniture and materials sourced from local suppliers in one of a number of moves to make the space as sustainable as possible.
Edinburgh Airport Director of Retail and Property, Gail Taylor, said: "Creating spaces that add a touch of luxury can really enhance the passenger experience and get that holiday or trip of a lifetime off to the best possible start, and the new Plaza Premium lounge will offer just that.
"Working with partners who understand travel hospitality and showcasing some of the country’s very best products will ensure our global passengers leave with a world-class taste of Scotland."
Plaza Premium Group Regional General Manager, EMEA, Mr Okan Kufeci said: "We were very thoughtful about our guests’ needs and their profile when designing this lounge. We wanted a space that considered the different types of travellers, be it business, leisure and even the little ones.
"Travelling can be quite stressful, even more so when you have children with you. We hope to be able to help travellers and their little ones cope with the stress of travelling by providing a space to unwind and also a space for children to play and to be entertained during their dwell time.
"Besides these features, we also looked into having more sustainable attributes in our lounges. We wanted to ensure that our lounge uses locally sourced materials and energy-efficient appliances. We will be incorporating more sustainability elements into our new lounges and operations as this represents our company’s sustainability strategy."
The new Edinburgh Airport Lounge is open daily for all travellers - regardless of airline or class of travel - while you can also turn up without the need to pre-book.
Furthermore, guests can enjoy an opening offer of up to 20 per cent off walk-in and online booking.
