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.

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.

“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.”
