Tulsa International Airport Announces Plans for New Terminal Lounge
Passengers flying out of Tulsa International Airport will soon have access to a relaxing lounge that has locally sourced food and beverages, in-house chefs, and high-speed Wi-Fi. On Thursday, Tulsa International Airport’s Board of Directors approved a contract with CAVU, the company who manages the award-winning airport Escape Lounges, ranked as the number one common-use lounges in the US across TripAdvisor, Google, Yelp! and Facebook reviews.
The Escape Lounge at TUL will be approximately 3,100 square feet, with seating capacity for over 60 people. Construction of the new lounge will start immediately, with plans to open by Fall 2024. CAVU will be investing $2.3 million to renovate the area and open the space.
Key features include:
1. Unlimited Food: Passengers can indulge in a variety of complimentary snacks, appetizers, and refreshments throughout their stay at the lounge.
2. Full Bar Service: The lounge will feature a full bar with a diverse selection of beverages, including premium spirits, wines, and beers, allowing passengers to unwind and enjoy their time before their flight.
3. High-Speed Internet Access: Stay connected with complimentary high-speed internet access, ensuring that travelers can catch up on work, stay in touch with loved ones, and browse the web.
4. Complimentary Access for AMEX Platinum and Priority Pass Members: American Express Platinum Card Members and Centurion Card Members receive complimentary entry.
5. Day Pass Option: For anyone with a boarding pass who would like to experience the premium amenities of the lounge, day passes will be available for purchase, allowing access for the entire day. The cost is $45 per person for walk-ups, or $40 if purchased online at escapelounges.com at least 24 hours in advance.
6. Membership discounts available for military and AAA members.
“We’re looking forward to giving our passengers the opportunity to unwind and recharge before flights,” said Andrew Pierini, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer at Tulsa International Airport. “We’ve had customers ask about a potential lounge for years, so we’re happy to partner with CAVU to bring one of their award-winning Escape Lounges to TUL.”
