  What’s the breakfast offer in the mylounge,please? Will be at LGW next month with about 15mins of lounge time so would rather get in and out of somewhere less salubrious than spend the time queuing… Thanks.

  I was in the lounge from 6.50 to 7.10 this morning and it was a total zoo. Looks much nicer than Galleries Club in terms of decor and nibbles etc but it was uncomfortably full, I left early.

  Gatwick Fastrack/Premium was a breeze, no queue at all!

  No Gold perks at all… Trying to keep a stiff upper lip..!

  OT – Do I need to pre book the aspire lounge at STN with my lounge club card or can I turn up and expect to get in anyway. It will be a sat morn at 9am in April if that helps

    I was there on Sat at 9:30am and it was dead when I arrived (used Priority Pass). There were lots of tables reserved for people who had pre-booked. It started getting busy around 11am. I found it quite a decent lounge and service was really friendly. You have to pay extra for some drinks by the way e.g Prossecco or some brands of lager.

  I have a flight via Gatwick in December 2016 and it’s still saying north terminal.

  Was there last Friday morning – what a joke.

  Took an age for the first desk to issue paper passes, which you have to hand back in 10ft away. Couldn’t hand them in though since the single lounge lady (who was trying her best), had a queue 10 people deep as a chap at the front was arguing with her about how he was going to complain to Ba about the lack of a first lounge. He had a point, but there’s a time and a place.

  I threw our passes on the desk and walked in. A zoo!!

  Limited places to sit. No glasses for water or orange juice (it was breakfast) so no champagne required. Ordered 5 bacon rolls for the family, by the time they came it was time to go to the gate.

  Next time I’m going to pret!

  +1 for the old First Lounger. Nothing amazing but it did the job and I always found it less crowded than No.1 travellerwhich often is full of the sleazy jet mob!

  Last Tuesday morning 7:30-9:00 the No. 1 Traveller lounge was completely overrun. Part of the lounge was closed off. There wasn’t two seats together available anywhere and even when we eventually managed to get a seat it was very uncomfortable in comparison to what I’m used to in BA’s gold/first lounge.
  The breakfast selection very poor even in comparison to the BA Galleries lounge. The bacon sandwich I ordered was stone cold. I can live without my usual glass of champagne but please get the basics right.
  There are also too few toilets for the volume of people.

  I’m a bit surprised at the tone of some of the comments on here – the No1 lounge is not solely there for the benefit of BA elites. If Golds and Silvers are narked at what BA is providing they should moan to BA about it. Everyone who flies from Gatwick can use this lounge for a price – which is exactly why the lounge exists in the first place. Negative comments about other lounge users is really inappropriate and rather unfair.

    OTOH there might be a few more oiks vs what you would expect in gold or first lounges etc.

    Plus they are fed up. No Champagne at breakfast.

    Get your point, though.
