The newest public lounge at EDI, with a more ambitious food-and-drink offer than the basic independent-lounge norm.
Escape is the newer Gate 4 lounge, designed around Edinburgh and built for both eating and working. Its headline advantage is food prepared by in-house chefs, plus barista coffee and a proper inclusive drinks list.
It accepts walk-ins but the airport recommends booking ahead. Priority Pass and DragonPass access is available only when capacity permits, so do not rely on a same-day walk-up during busy periods.
