Club Aspire lounge to open at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 3

UK. Collinson Group subsidiary Airport Lounge Development and Swissport are to open a new passenger lounge in London Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 3.

The partners said the launch of Club Aspire, which will open in October 2016, was in response to a significant increase in demand for lounge access from business travellers.

The lounge will be available to premium airline passengers of participating airlines as part of their premium tickets as well as cardholders of Collinson’s lounge membership programmes Priority Pass, LoungeKey and Lounge Club. It will also be available to day pass customers purchasing access directly via Swissport’s lounge booking website and through partners.

Club Aspire will be able to accommodate more than 120 passengers. Complimentary Prosecco will be offered for the first three months to celebrate the launch.

A range of dedicated zones will feature, with business, snooze and quiet areas. Multimedia tables will allow passengers to access news and play games while a Bliss Spa will offer a range of massages, manicures, and other pamper treatments.

The lounge will feature a ‘best-of-British’ food menu with complimentary, freshly-prepared breakfast rolls, a salad bar, deli counter, and children’s options. A premium menu with full meals will also be available for a small charge. Drink options will include complimentary premium brand alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, along with teas and coffees.

Club Aspire is the second lounge to be launched in a joint venture partnership between Airport Lounge Development and Swissport. The first was Aspire, the Lounge and Spa at LHR T5, which opened at Heathrow Terminal 5 in 2015. It is currently being expanded to make room for 50 additional seats.
