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).
This was far better than what I expected it to be. Lots of seating areas with different options. Power outlets. A wide variety of drinks and meals along with snacks. The food is fresh. The space is cool when you consider the amount of people in the space and large windows. A good view of the airport for those who enjoy that. There are shower facilities however we didn't use them.
The BA Lounge was excellent this time around and not too busy, on previous visits it has been very chaotic due to the amount of people who were using it.
Food has gone back to Self Serve and the range available was both fresh and tasty. Never keen on the Union coffee in the lounge but with plenty of milk it is drinkable.
Views of the runway keeps both adults and kids entertained.
My first time in the Gatwick South BA lounge. It is smaller than the Heathrow lounges which is possibly why it is cleaner and better kept all round. The food choice is the standard fayre. Annoyingly Zacapa 23 has been delisted and not replaced with anything. It's a pricey rum but why not substitute with something cheaper like Captain Morgan Spiced, Jamaica 62 or Kraken? Just a thought..The rest of the drink choice is as expected. The staff are very good. The airport itself is having a makeover but is still worth a stroll through.
One of the better BA lounges I visit, although it's a complete cooks tour to find because of the archaic design of Gatwick Airport. Offers a much needed break from what is always a busy Gatwick, ample seating, good views of the apron, good selection of drinks and food. Nice decor. Kids room/area is a nice attempt at being accommodating but could do with a few other toys, games, amenities to hold the interest of kids longer. All in all, a pleasant visit.
We used the BA club Europe lounge Gatwick south yesterday for the first time . We had a great experience. Food was good , a very good choice of drinks and it was very relaxing. Staff were working hard and were helpful and quick to fill up the Prosecco when you asked . A young lad called George was working hard the whole time we were there and was very helpful and made the experience that little bit better
Very polite staff with amples of drink and food only problem great view of runway on the day I went was it was extremely busy with hardly any seating
I think this is an excellent lounge when compared to Heathrow. The lounge gets nowhere near as busy, so feels more relaxed.
The selection is standard for a BA lounge. Staff very friendly and helpful and less rushed off their feet.
My only gripe was the WiFi access that kept dropping when I was last there. This may have been due to where I was sitting, but it was annoying.
