When you're going on holiday or away for a business trip, it's always nice to relax and unwind whilst you are waiting for your flight.
And while many of us grab a Starbucks and walk to the seating area staring at the screen waiting for our gate number to be announced, it's nicer to wait somewhere a little more relaxing.
There are several airports throughout the UK with their own lounges, including Glasgow, and there are many benefits too.
