Escape Lounges opened a brand-new and much-needed lounge at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) on April 1, 2026. This new $6.3 million lounge spans 6,767 square feet (629 m²), which is nearly five times the size of its previous location, which opened back in 2019. The new location is still located in Concourse B but now sits (upstairs) between gates 8 and 10 and is open daily from 05:00 to 21:00 (9 pm).

Amenities

Besides being larger than the previous lounge, the new location features curated zones where you can relax or work before your departure. The lounge draws inspiration from Cincinnati, featuring local art and craftsmanship. The Riverbank Retreat zone, a tranquil oasis inspired by the Ohio River. There is also a horseshoe-shaped bar called the Bluegrass Backstage Bar, which features local brews and cocktails.

There are also windows with views of the ramp area and outdoors. From a dining perspective, the chef's table offers a rotating menu of local and international cuisines that rotate throughout the day. Other amenities include seating and table areas where customers can work or relax, espresso machines, flight monitors, restrooms, and digital magazines with the PressReader service. There are also charging plugs located around the lounge, high-speed Wi-Fi, and print, scan, and copy services.

We’re proud to open our brand-new, larger Escape Lounge at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, marking a milestone in our seven-year partnership with CVG and the growing passenger demand for premium lounges. This new space allows us to offer an elevated experience and an escape to remember for more travelers passing through the airport, said Sydney Adams, Growth Manager for CAVU.

Access

The Escape Lounge is a common-use lounge (open to all travelers, regardless of class or airline). The lounge is free for American Express Platinum Card members and Delta SkyMiles Reserve Card members (provided they are traveling on a Delta-marketed flight that day). Priority Pass card members can pre-book online but must remember to bring their Priority Pass card to enter. Customers can also purchase a $60 day pass in person or a $50 pass by pre-booking online. Children under 3 can enter the lounge for free, and all guests will have access to the lounge 3 hours prior to their scheduled flight departure time.

Closing Thoughts

Including this Escape Lounge, CVG currently has three airport lounges, a sensory room, and two Jabbrrbox pods. This new Escape Lounge (CVG) is really a big upgrade for Cincinnati, and the extra space will most definitely help with overcrowding.
