We've visited this British Airways Lounge several times, and we've had such a positive experience; it's now one of the main points of travelling from London Gatwick Airport because the moment you walk in, there is a wonderful reception area can notify you if your flight is leaving, I'm not sure if this is only for those with disability like ourselves, but it was great they had that option.
When walking through the lounge, it's clear one of the main pride staff have here is cleanliness, where the staff work hard to ensure all the tables are spotless, and I've found this place outstanding. Several sections offer food and drink options to accommodate everyone, and I was impressed with the open bar option, where you could select a drink and pour it to your specifications. Many expensive alcohol brands are here, including my favourite, meaning I can enjoy a luxurious drink while watching the planes fly off. A lot of seats are here and different styles, from singular seats to two two to sofas, and even a children's play area; this place is excellent, and we love coming here also because it's a chance to have some food and to feel satisfied before we fly off to our destination. My partner especially loves the Katsu curry, which is very tasty, and the rice is always top-notch; the fact we can help ourselves to anything we want means that we can personalise our experience depending on our preference.
We're looking forward to coming here again soon, and thank you for the beautiful experience.
British Airways has a large lounge at Gatwick. It has been renovated recently and feel airy and bright. There are plenty of seats all around. There is a self service bar with plenty of choices and a buffet as well. Food options are plenty for everyone and everything is clearly marked as per ones allergies and preferences too.
The staff at the lounge were walking around and cleaning plates and glasses frequently. The only drawback was that there was only one small toilet for a large lounge.
Great views of the tarmac and to watch Gatwicks only runway be busy with constant movement was a delight.
This lounge was surprisingly good- easily on par with the T5 lounge at Heathrow, if not better. The lounge itself was large and spacious with plenty of seating areas. The only drawback was that most of the seats were low, armchair style so eating a meal with a plate balanced on your lap was a bit difficult.
The hot breakfast options were good (sausage, bacon, hash browns etc) and were replenished frequently. Continental options were also decent. Snacks (crisps, nuts, pretzels) were available.
The drinks on offer were very good: several options of sparkling and still wine, and a full selection of spirits and mixers. The bar was self-service, so you could have as much as you like.
Staff were quick to clear plates/glasses and were friendly and engaging. The toilets were spotlessly clean (unlike other lounges we've been to).
