Brits are snapping up a clever £2 Wowcher hack that gets you into swanky airport lounges without splashing out on a business class seat.

The bargain voucher slashes up to 25% off lounge access for you and up to six mates at major UK airports – meaning you can ditch the noisy terminal for plush seats, free snacks and a cheeky pre-flight tipple.

It’s one of the cheapest and easiest ways to add a touch of VIP to your getaway – no first-class ticket or fancy airline needed.

This rare airport lounge deal is open to all travellers, making it a no-brainer upgrade for your summer hols.

Lounges covered by the deal include top spots at Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Edinburgh, Birmingham and 15 other UK airports – giving you access to free Wi-Fi, snacks, boozy bevvies, and a comfy seat away from the chaos.

The £2 voucher is valid until 19 September 2025 and can be used for groups of up to seven jet-setters, as long as you book ahead and check for availability.

The £2 airport lounge voucher has already been snapped up by over 29,000 savvy travellers – and it’s not hard to see why.

Whether you’re jetting off on a cheeky city break or going long-haul, it’s a no-brainer upgrade that transforms your airport experience.

Most lounges open around three hours before take-off, and stays may be timed – so if you’re flying in peak summer months, get in quick to bag your slot and skip the departure lounge chaos.

Meanwhile, jetsetters have shared a travel hack to get free checked luggage at the airport – but comes with a risk.

Airlines across the globe have been cutting their hand luggage allowances in recent years, with many charging passengers to bring a large carry-on item onboard.

In an article in Business Insider, one expert revealed a workaround to get a free checked bag.

They wrote: “I ask to check my bag the minute I get to the gate, regardless of whether it’s been requested.

“The gate agent almost always says yes, and I get to skip the checked-bag fee.”

Henry Harteveldt, the president of Atmosphere Research Group, described this is as a “well-known hack”.

He even suggested asking for the bag to be checked at the last minute.

This is because if it is loaded at the last moment, it has a better chance of being first off the plane and first on the baggage belt – although this is not always guaranteed.

However, the hack isn’t without its risks.

Passengers who haven’t paid for a larger carry-on item may be charged to put their suitcase into the hold.

Additionally, gate staff may measure and weigh the larger carry-on item, leading to additional charges.
