Lounge Reviews

Opening in 2024, the Plaza Express is the latest lounge to open in Gatwick's North Terminal, so surely it's worthy of a review? The Plaza Express is the "casual" brand of the Plaza Premium group, aimed more at cost-conscious leisure travellers. I visited in September 2025, with the terminal still in full swing from the tail end of people's summer holidays, and with prices starting from £18 for an adult, is it worth your money? Because you're not getting in here with a lounge

I arrived at the American Express Centurion Lounge in Heathrow Terminal 3 at 5:30am on a Saturday morning, right as the doors opened. I was proudly the third guest of the day. I was flying Finnair to Helsinki on what was was supposed to be a two-week trip to the Philippines, before the Middle East situation spoilt that . But that's another story. This one is about whether Amex's only Centurion Lounge at Heathrow justifies the hype, and whether it's worth your time. The short

Want that last bite of the holiday? Well, if you're in Menorca then the Tramuntana VIP lounge may be for you. I was the first visitor of the day in the lounge before a short flight from Menorca to Majorca, so I think this is a fair time to review the lounge, really allowing it to put it's best foot forward. Opening Hours and Entry Requirements The Tramuntana VIP lounge in Menorca is open from 6:00am to 0:30am in the summer, with the opening hours shortening in the winter from

Before my recent flight to Menorca, I decided to spend a few hours and review the No 1 Lounge at Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal. I love having lounge access, and this time I was utilising my Priority Pass which comes with the American Express Platinum Card. Having visited in the past, I was curious to see how it’s holding up in 2025, what’s changed, what’s improved, and whether it still offers good value compared to Gatwick’s other lounges. A quick disclaimer on photos. Whe

Imperious. Unique. Colossus. This is the Al Safwa First lounge, the crown jewel in Qatar Airways operation. Supposedly this a lounge, but this feels more like a cathedral then any lounge I've been to before. Exclusively for travellers in First Class, or Platinum Qatar Airways members, the Al Safwa is a sprawling lounge complex which may just make you want to miss that flight. So here it goes, my review of the Al Safwa lounge, at Doha Hamad International Airport, possibly the

If you’re passing through Hamad International Airport (HIA) in Doha and fortunate enough to access Qatar Airways’ Al Mourjan Garden Lounge, prepare yourself for an airport experience like no other. The lounge is a sight to behold Opened as part of the airport’s expansion in 2022, this lounge sets a new global standard for luxury, space, and serenity in air travel. Sam and I were lucky enough to utilise the lounge when we fly with Qatar Airways to and from New Zealand earlier

Back in February of 1993, two momentous occasions occurred. Firstly, I was born, on the 27th of the month, which is obviously the most important moment from February 1993. But what also happened five days earlier, and really you will see how it pales in comparison, is that Virgin Atlantic opened its Clubhouse at Heathrow Airport. And while that might sound impressive, I think we can all agree it pales in comparison to my arrival! The Upper Class Wing includes a fantastic mode
