New Airport Lounges Opening in 2025
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 UK vs Priority Pass: Which Lounge Pass Is Worth Your Pre-Flight Bubbles?
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.

Priority Pass Review 2026: One Year of Lounge Access, Was It Worth It?
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.

Review: No 1 Lounge Heathrow Terminal 2 Is This the Swankiest Spot Before Take-Off?
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.

SATS Lounge, Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2: Worst Airport Lounge I’ve Ever Visited
It’s rare for me to walk into a lounge and feel immediate regret. But stepping into the SATS Premier Lounge at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 felt like walking straight back into my old school exam hall, it could be the name though? SATS. And not in a nostalgic way. I’m talking that grey institutional gloom, the buzz of fluorescent lighting, uncomfortable seating, people hunched over in various states of stress, and the loud chatter that’s anything but soothing.

Airport Lounge Milan: Sala Montale Lounge Malpensa Airport (MXP) Review
If you’ve ever landed at Malpensa Airport after a long-haul journey like mine – SIN-AUH-MILAN, followed by a trek to Stansted and onward to Surrey – you’ll know the difference a decent lounge can make.
This time, I tested out the Via Milano Lounge at MXP Airport, armed with both Priority Pass and LoungeKey(because yes, I carry them all like Pokémon cards). What did I find? A lounge with good intentions and some great Italian touches, but not without its flaws.

My Lounge, One of the Best Gatwick Airport Lounges at the North Terminal
Looking for a place to kick back before your flight from London Gatwick? Let me introduce you to one of my favourite Gatwick Airport lounges – My Lounge at the North Terminal.
Formerly known as The Gateway, this cool little hangout has had a glow-up and returned to its original roots as My Lounge, part of the No1 Lounges family. It’s still got all the laid-back vibes, now with a refreshed, more chilled-out identity.
