Lounge Access

If you are travelling in Aer Lingus Business Class, are a Gold Circle Club member, or hold a Bank of Ireland Gold Visa Business Card (with lounge access) and you are travelling on an Aer Lingus flight, you will be able to use any of our Gold Circle or affiliated lounges. Lounge access may also be pre-purchased online or at the lounge on the day of travel for selected lounges. With a few exceptions, all of our airport lounges are owned and operated by airport handling partners.

At some airports, where our handling partner provides lounge facilities, you may need to register at check-in for the lounge visit. Once you produce your Aer Lingus boarding pass and your Gold Circle Club card, or Bank of Ireland Gold Visa Business card, the Check-in staff will provide you with a lounge invitation, which you can use to locate and access the lounge.

• Lounge facilities are available at most airports served by Aer Lingus. See below for a full list of locations. Occasionally, the location of airport lounges may change so it's always a good idea to check out the listing before you travel.
• If you are not travelling in Business Class and wish to access any of our lounges, you must present either a valid lounge access card (a Gold Circle Club card or Bank of Ireland Gold Visa Business card), or a lounge invitation issued at check-in; along with your Aer Lingus boarding card.
• Gold Circle Club members and Bank of Ireland Gold Visa Business cardholders may invite one guest into the lounge when travelling on the same Aer Lingus flight as the cardholder.
• Lounge access can also be purchased to avail of the Dublin, London Heathrow and Boston lounges through the manage my booking section or at the lounge on the day of travel.
• Elite and Prestige members have access to the British Airways lounge in London Heathrow when travelling onwards on a through-ticket with British Airways. This means that your ticket must have an Aer Lingus and a British Airways flight on the same ticket/booking. If separate tickets/bookings have been issued then BA lounge access will not be available.
• The new Aer Lingus Gold Circle Lounge in Dublin Airport's Terminal 2 is now open. Enjoy modern surroundings while you relax for your flight, with complementary wi-fi, refreshments, newspapers and more.
