Southend-2
Yes it is - airport is owned by local government, and Stobart will have a 25% interest in the holding company which will operate the airport on behalf of the LA's.

Southend Skylife Lounge ranked worst by Which? in a survey of 21 pay as you go facilities at 9 airports in the UK.
Highlighted no hot food,no runway view,no sparkling wine,stained carpets dusted with crumbs & the food... a sad looking buffet inc unripe bananas.
Access costs £24 on the day.

Very disappointing. 12 months ago urgent action was promised.

But as you can see nothing has changed.

No runway view— does that really matter, what sort of criteria are Which using these days.
Disappointing in general for food and cleanliness though.
Reading the Belfast thread they got hammered for no showers , spa etc.
Does the sky life lounge have any of these?

Thanks tws123 for your info. It could get quite busy at peak times in departures and indeed in arrivals once the summer season starts with Ryanair, Easyjet, Loganair, Flybe and Blue Islands etc. I would have thought that the terminal extension would have been started a lot sooner.

WiFi was congested too, yet there was only approx 10 people sitting in the lounge. No easy open view across the ramp and airfield, felt more like a GP's patient waiting room, with day glow artificial light lamps positioned in corners.
To finish on a positive, staff on front desk and inside the lounge were smiley, cheerful and very polite - staff deserve a thumbs up
SEN airport manage should constructively take onboard the comments (pardon the pun), revisit the situation, reposition it, natural light views of the airfield, review the hot food choices and presentation, it's not good right now, especially if lounge access annual membership card holders are paying premium for lounge access and service levels, which isn't being provided to a reasonable standard.

Had a great flight with EZY the other day into SEN on board an A320 (not the NEO). Was surprised how quick the landing was, especially with a full flight too. Landed on Runway 23 and exited off of Taxiway C, no backtracking needed.
