Plaza Premium opens new Gatwick lounge

Plaza Premium Group in Hong Kong announced its new Plaza Express is now open at London Gatwick Airport’s north terminal departure. The new opening is ideal for larger groups and families with more affordable entry rates, high-speed Wi-Fi, zoned seating and food and drink. Tailored for travelers seeking to enjoy light bites in a cozy setting, while offering runway views and a peaceful escape from the typical departure chaos, the lounge serves a delicious choice of breakfast from the buffet in the mornings until 11am, Plaza Premium said. Throughout the day, guests can visit the “build-your-own-dish” stations where guests and children alike can make their own burger, hot dog and salad at the ‘help yourself buffet’ stations, while fresh pizzas are prepared hot and fresh from the oven. All food, beer and soft drinks are unlimited. The family-friendly lounge – that has a dedicated play area for little ones and a pool table for the big kids – is ready to welcome guests on the first stop of their travels, open daily from 5am to 4pm. A ‘Quick and Easy’ package allows you to one-time access into Plaza Express and stay up to 1.5 hours, this includes unlimited food and beverages (£18 for adults) or you can upgrade to include wines at £25 per adult for 2 hours of access. Children under 11 go free with each accompanying adult. This is the latest addition by the Plaza Premium Group, who owns and operates the world’s largest independent lounge network – Plaza Premium Lounge. Plaza Express marks the brand’s seventh opening in the UK and its’ second at London Gatwick, already home to the Plaza Premium Lounge also at North Terminal departure. Lorenzo Valori, Vice President of Commercial and Operations Europe said: “It’s with great pleasure that we announce our UK expansion with the launch of the new Plaza Express at London Gatwick Airport. The concept created allows us to expand our offering to a wider group of travelers with affordable entry prices to a vibrant inviting space and embrace the holiday spirit.  Plaza Express is also a wonderful opportunity for large families travelling together to start their holiday in a warm, welcoming and spacious environment with an attractive entry price for adults and children. We look forward to putting smiles on our customer’s faces and continuing to bring our award-winning experience to serve travelers.” For Editorial Inquiries Contact: Editor Matt Driskill at [email protected] For Advertising Inquiries Contact: Head of Sales Kay Rolland at [email protected]
