Easyjet : opens lounge at Gatwick as UK travel recovery takes off

EZJ.L

EASYJET announced its first lounge will open today at Gatwick airport's north terminal. Called the Gateway, the space was developed in collaboration with lounge company No1 Lounges.

With prices starting at £18.50, the space will allow all travellers - regardless of airline ticket - to eat, drink and work before their flight for one, two or three hours.

The lounge's opening comes as business travel returns to the carrier amid a relaxation of UK travel rules.

"The launch is timely as we are seeing the recovery begin in the UK, not only for leisure travel where winter sun destinations are proving popular once again, but for business travellers too, who are returning in their biggest numbers since before the pandemic," said EasyJet's commercial director Rachael Smith.

"Whatever the reason for travel, we are confident that the lounge will provide the perfect destination for customers wanting to get their trip off to a perfect start."
