No1 Lounges reopens two additional UK airport lounges

No1 Lounges – now under the joint ownership of Priority Pass group Collinson and ground services group Swissport – has reopened two additional lounges.

Save 15% at London Gatwick

The most important one, in terms of relieving pinch points, is My Lounge in London Gatwick’s South Terminal.

Oddly, the My Lounge Gatwick website says that it is closed until 20th August. However, it IS now open. This special webpage confirms it and includes a special reopening discount.

My Lounge is positioned as the Moxy of the lounge world (with the main No1 Lounge brand presumably being the Marriott and Clubrooms being The Ritz-Carlton) but it is better than that. The My Lounge at Gatwick is a well designed space and is the only lounge at the airport to have an outdoor area.

Our most recent review of My Lounge at London Gatwick’s South Terminal is here.

You can access the lounge with Priority Pass or other lounge club cards. My Lounge is NOT included in the list of No1 Lounges which allow you to reserve slots in advance.

You can book access for cash here – there is currently a 15% discount available via this link. It is the cheapest independent lounge at Gatwick North.

Meanwhile, in Birmingham ….

No1 Lounges has also reopened its premium Clubrooms lounge at Birmingham International.

None of the HfP team have ever visited this lounge but we have a 2019 review of the Birmingham Clubrooms lounge submitted by a reader. The photos have always looked very classy, as you can see from the image above.

You can book access for cash via the No1 website here.

You can access Clubrooms with a Priority Pass card but there is a £10 supplement. If you choose to reserve a space in advance, the fee increases to £15 – you can make reservations here. No children under 12 are allowed.

The two Clubrooms lounges at London Gatwick, one in each terminal, remain closed.
