51° Executive Lounge

Cardiff Airport

3.3★★★★★★★★★★

Overall, from 14 metrics

🍸 Beer & wine🚿 No showers🪑 Seats 80

The only lounge in Main Terminal. An independent lounge with a proper place to work, food and drink worth arriving early for, and Wi-Fi and power you can rely on — though seats are scarce at peak and the coffee is machine-made. It seats around 80, pours beer and wine, and has no showers. Somewhere to sit down and charge a phone, not to linger. DragonPass, LoungeKey, and Priority Pass get you in — Also accepts KLM Business/Flying Blue.
