Glasgow Airport has two paid lounges. The UpperDeck Lounge suits families and typical layovers, with a kids' zone and food included, from £27 for an adult. The adults-only Lomond Lounge, about £37, is quieter and includes several drinks. Which one to book depends on who you are travelling with and how long you have. Checked August 2026.
What's in the UpperDeck Lounge
The UpperDeck Lounge is on the second floor of the International Pier, airside, so you need to be through security to reach it. It is the airport's main, family-friendly lounge, and the standout feature is a dedicated kids' zone with toys, games consoles and films, which makes it a genuinely useful stop if you are travelling with children and want somewhere calmer than the main terminal before your gate opens.
Entry includes complimentary food and drink, free WiFi and flight-information screens so you can keep an eye on your gate without watching the departure boards in the main concourse. The lounge opens daily from about 05:00 to 20:30, with last entry around 18:30, and a visit is capped at up to 3 hours, which is plenty for most connection times.
Pricing starts from £27 for an adult and £17 for a child aged 4 to 17, with infants under 3 admitted free. That makes it one of the more affordable family lounge options at a UK airport, particularly once you factor in that food and drink are included rather than charged separately.
What's in the Lomond Lounge
The Lomond Lounge is the adults-only alternative, and it is pitched at a quieter, more relaxed pre-flight stop rather than a family space. Entry costs about £37, and that price includes up to 4 alcoholic drinks along with unlimited soft drinks, which changes the value calculation compared with the UpperDeck: if you would normally buy a couple of drinks and a bite to eat airside anyway, the entry fee can work out close to what you would spend regardless.
Because it is adults-only, it is a better fit if you are travelling as a couple or with other adults and specifically want to avoid a lounge full of children's games consoles and family noise. Confirm the current opening hours and maximum visit length directly with the airport or when you book, since these details were not published as clearly as the UpperDeck's.

The UpperDeck is the cheaper entry point and the only one of the two set up for children. The Lomond costs more but bundles in enough drinks that regular travellers who would order a couple of rounds anyway may find it evens out.
Which lounge should you choose
If you are travelling with children, the UpperDeck Lounge is the clear choice: it is the only one of the two with a kids' area, and the lower child price makes a family visit more affordable overall. If you are flying solo or with other adults and want a calm space away from families, particularly if you plan to have a drink or two before your flight, the Lomond Lounge's all-inclusive drinks make more financial sense.
Either lounge is worth weighing against simply using the free WiFi in the main terminal and grabbing food from one of the airport's other outlets, covered on the facilities page, especially on a short connection where you would not get much use out of the extra time. If your priority is speed rather than comfort, it is also worth reading about Fast Track security, which can be the better £5 to £37 trade-off if you are simply trying to get through the terminal quickly rather than spend an hour relaxing.
