Destination-inspired signature dishes will be changed quarterly, offering guests a taste of Europe before takeoff, accompanied by the lounge’s own signature cocktail list.
In Wednesday’s announcement, easyJet’s Commercial Proposition and Innovation Director, Rachael Smith, said,
“We are delighted to be launching our very first airport lounge in partnership with No1 Lounges to serve passengers at London Gatwick, where we’re proud to be the largest airline. We’re always looking for opportunities to offer travellers more choice and great value, so we’re proud that The Gateway will be able to offer something for everyone whether it’s all the essentials for a workspace, somewhere comfortable to relax before jetting off or to entertain the family.
“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. 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.”
The Gateway also provides free Wi-Fi and work areas with convenient charging points, as well as a family friendly TV den and games room.
Also commenting on the new Gatwick lounge partnership, No1 Lounges’ Managing Director, Shaun Weston, said,
“We are excited to launch this new lounge concept at Gatwick Airport in partnership with easyJet. The Gateway is the destination at Gatwick North Terminal to enjoy a laid back, relaxed pre-flight experience. This new lounge concept will be the first opportunity for us to develop a new market segment in partnership with easyJet. We are anticipating that this lounge will be extremely popular during the travel renaissance as we recover from challenging times. We can’t wait to introduce and welcome a new audience to the world of airport lounging”
