Flying home from New York JFK to London Heathrow soon? Before you queue up for your Pret flat white and gate seat, here’s a travel secret most people don’t know, you can use your Priority Pass to access the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse JFK. Yes, that Clubhouse. The one usually reserved for Upper Class flyers and Virgin Gold members, with the mood lighting, cocktails, and à la carte dining that feels more “Soho House” than “airport lounge.”

There’s good news for weary travellers touching down at Heathrow Plaza Premium Lounge has officially reopened its Arrivals Lounge in Terminal 3, once again giving flyers a place to shower, recharge, and regroup before tackling London traffic or a connecting flight. Previously operated by Delta (before the airline moved to Virgin Atlantic’s Revivals Lounge in 2017), the Heathrow Arrivals Lounge has been lightly refreshed with a clean, modern look. Expect updated seating, Tube

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from years of airport hopping, it’s this a great airport lounge can make or break your travel day. I’ve lost count of how many lounges I’ve sipped prosecco in, but I have learned which ones are worth arriving early for (and which deserve to be left behind with your middle seat boarding pass).

British Airways has landed in the desert and it’s looking seriously good. The airline’s brand-new Dubai airport lounge, in Terminal 1 at Dubai International Airport, is where British class meets Dubai flash. Think marble, mirrors, and mezze with a side of Champagne and English Sparkling Wine.

As part of oneworld’s 25th anniversary celebrations, this lounge is not just a pit stop, it’s a full-on experience. Let’s fly straight into

Step inside and you’ll immediately feel the difference: open layout, floor-to-ceiling windows, and calm lighting that makes you forget Heathrow’s chaos below. The vibe? Understated luxury. Recently refreshed interiors with walnut tones, soft lighting, and just enough polish to feel premium without pretending it’s a first-class lounge.

Clubrooms Heathrow Terminal 3 promises a first-class pre-flight experience for Priority Pass and No1 Lounges guests, but does it actually deliver? I checked in to find out.

If you’ve ever found yourself meandering around Gatwick Airport, doing laps of the shops, eyeing up a £7 latte at Black Sheep or a £15 salad in Pret, pouncing for a seat, and forget even trying to get near a socket or USB port, then you know the struggle is real. That’s exactly why a lounge pass can feel like heaven. Today, I’m diving head first into the free buffet (having not eaten properly for days thanks to man flu) at the No1 Lounge Gatwick North Terminal – and trust me,

Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) has just welcomed a brand-new addition to its passenger experience, the Aspire Executive Lounge, the very first of its kind in Italy. For frequent flyers, business travellers, or anyone wanting to start their trip with a touch of comfort, this is big news.

If you’ve ever flown through London Gatwick, you’ll know it’s… busy. Gatwick is the UK’s second-busiest airport, and while it’s efficient, it’s not exactly known for its zen vibes. That’s where airport lounges come in, Why fight for a seat at the gate, with screaming hen and stag parties when you could be relaxing in a quiet lounge instead?

There’s a new lounge in town – or more accurately, in the terminal. Escape Lounges has just opened their first Scottish location at Edinburgh Airport, and if you’re on the hunt for somewhere quiet to sit, snack, and sip before your flight, this might be one to check out.

Let’s be honest – Heathrow is one of those airports that can go from smooth sailing to “why is there a 45-minute queue for Pret?” in the blink of an eye. But there’s a silver lining: get yourself into a decent lounge and suddenly things feel much calmer (and tastier). I’ve been in and out of Heathrow more times than I care to count, and I've visited most of the Priority Pass-accessible lounges – some great, some just... there. Here’s how I rank them, based on my real visits

One of the biggest transformations slated for 2025 is the overhaul of Heathrow Terminal 3’s independent lounges. The comprehensive upgrade promises an exciting shift for travelers using services like Priority Pass or DragonPass as well as premium passengers flying with airlines lacking dedicated lounges.

DragonPass is a global airport lounge access programme that promises entry to over 1,300 lounges worldwide, including some right here in the UK. It’s often bundled with premium bank accounts or credit cards – think Barclays Avios Rewards or the Revolut Ultra plan. You download the DragonPass app, show your membership at the lounge desk, and – theoretically – in you go.

If you're planning a trip through Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) in 2025 and considering a visit to the BER Lounge Tegel, you might want to read this first. As someone who appreciates a good airport lounge, I had high hopes for this one. Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired.

Let’s be honest – airport terminals these days can be a bit of challenge to get thru, security lanes, constant rule changes, stressing about your bags size, delays, Screaming kids, £7 bottles of water. So last year, I finally did what any self-respecting frequent flyer should: I got myself a Priority Pass.

Let’s be honest, navigating Heathrow can feel like a marathon. Whether it’s long check-in lines, chaotic security checks, or trying to find a seat in the terminals hustle and bustle, it can all get a bit much. That’s where the Plaza Premium Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 comes in.

If you’ve ever found yourself rushing through Heathrow Airport, wishing for a quiet escape from the chaos, then the Club Aspire Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 might be just what you need. But, is it worth the cost? And is there a better way to access this lounge without breaking the bank? n this review, I’ll take you through my experience with the Club Aspire Lounge, share the details about the lounge’s features, and show you how you can get access with Priority Pass and e

Great question, and one that many Google users are frantically searching mid-terminal. The No1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 is not exactly front and centre. Once you’re through security, head towards Gates A1 to A5. Now here’s where it gets weird: take the lift down one level. It’ll feel like you’re being dropped into a subterranean bunker – no natural light, no runway views, and the mood lighting of a swanky members club.

If you’ve ever stood around at London Heathrow Terminal 2 watching your flight delay stretch longer than your patience and thought, “Is there somewhere I can escape all this chaos?”, then welcome to the club. And welcome to this review. I recently visited the Plaza Premium Lounge at Terminal 2, London Heathrow. It’s genuinely beautiful inside, impressively styled, and promises an escape from the terminal madness. But let’s be honest, airport lounges aren’t all created equal.
