When it comes to travel, it's not just about the destination—it's about the entire experience. For those who frequent the skies, the airport process can often feel like a necessary obstacle rather than a seamless transition into adventure. Enter aether, the exclusive lounge at Manchester Airport that has redefined the art of travelling. With a commitment to making every part of your airport experience effortless and enjoyable, aether is the sanctuary you've been searching for. They recently invited some Travel Counsellors to experience this exciting new addition first-hand and here's what they found.
