Entrance fees vary between $30 and $45 at different locations. Fort Lauderdale International Airport (FLL) hosts one of its most popular lounges in the US.

The company is also targeting Australia with upcoming lounges at Brisbane Airport (BNE) and Cairns Airport (CNS). In the UK, Escape Lounges are located at Manchester Airport's terminals, London Stansted Airport (STN), Bristol Airport (BRS), with new openings planned for Edinburgh Airport (EDI) in May 2025 and East Midlands Airport reopening in April 2025.
