Airports are busy, airlines are advising arriving early, and some lounges have yet to reopen. Here is our round-up of the current situation with lounges at Gatwick South Terminal. We provided an update on lounges in Gatwick airport's North Terminal in the November issue of Business Traveller.
THE REGUS EXPRESS BUSINESS LOUNGE LANDSIDE (This lounge is temporarily closed)
Where is it? Landside in the South Terminal Arrivals area. Take the lift next to Costa Coffee down to the ground floor. This lounge is before you go through security, so make sure you leave the lounge with plenty of time to get through security and to your gate.
Who can use it? Travellers with premium tickets and membership cards or Regus memberships. No children are allowed.
What's it like? Fully-equipped with business facilities, wifi, tea, coffee and snacks. If you are flying you might like to get through security before settling down to do some work - but if you've landed and need to work, or you know your flight is delayed or cancelled, this lounge would be a useful choice if it was open. There are also 11 private meeting rooms (book in advance) for up to 12 people, shower facilities and printers available for an extra charge.
Dress code? Smart casual, so no fancy dress, replica sports kits, revealing clothing or offensive slogans.
Price? Temporarily closed.
Opening times: Usually 7am-6pm Monday to Friday...regus.com
NO1 LOUNGE
Where is it? On the upper floor of the main airside shopping area. After you've been through security, follow signs for No1 Lounges. Go down the corridor between Dixons and JD Sports to find the entrance.
