Although it has just two terminals, London Gatwick has a decent choice of lounges for travellers to relax in before their flight. It\u2019s important to note that access and availability can vary wildly.<\/p>

While some lounges are accessible to all on a pay-per-use basis, some are only accessible to members of lounge programmes, high-tier frequent flyers, premium credit cardholders or first class or business class passengers.<\/p>

As the second busiest UK airport after Heathrow, Gatwick has 13 lounges spread over its North and South Terminals.<\/p>

Most lounges offer drinks, food and newspapers and magazines at a minimum, while others go the extra mile with spas, showers, games consoles and even private rooms if you want to catch a few hours sleep between flights. One even has a landscaped outdoor terrace if you\u2019re keen to get some fresh air before being cooped up in a plane for hours.<\/p>

We\u2019ve detailed all the Gatwick airport lounges and how you can gain access to them, including those that take Priority Pass \u2013 more on this below the list.<\/p>
