Aspire Lounge Gatwick South Terminal

The Aspire Lounge is located on the upper level of the main airport building. When you leave security you can take a short cut – don’t go down the steps or escalator but follow the signs and the corridor to the left.

If you do go into the departures area simply take the escalator to the upper level and follow the signs.

£46.99 for 3 hours	£41.28 with my Holidayextras Discount for 3 hours	£20.60 with Priority Pass Standard Plus (10 included visits)

If you’re deciding how to enter, here’s the simple takeaway: Priority Pass is usually the best value if you’ll use lounges more than once or twice per year, while third-party passes can work well for one-off trips.

The Aspire Lounge is a paid entry lounge. This means you can access it whatever airline you are flying with and whatever type of class you are flying.

You can either;

• Buy access directly with Aspire Lounges – £46.99 per adult for a 3 hour stay

Is Priority Pass Worth It at Gatwick South Terminal?

For most travellers, the answer to that is yes.

Here’s why:

• Walk-in price: +£40
• Priority Pass visit with Standard Plus Membership (and my discount) £20.60
• Food + drinks + comfort: Included

If you use this lounge just 2-3 times a year, Priority Pass often pays for itself.

For regular flyers, it’s one of the easiest ways to save money.

You can also prebook all the lounges at Gatwick South Terminal through Priority Pass, which guarantees entry at peak travel times.
