As a windsurfer, why book an airport lounge?

By Jonathan Clarke

Gatwick airport lounge

You're all checked in and set to embark on your flight. There's not much left to do but sit back and relax in an airport lounge.

You may even like to enjoy some complimentary snacks and drinks and generally unwind before your holiday begins.

An airport lounge affords you some time in luxury away from the busy crowds at the departure terminal.

There really is no better time to sit back, relax, enjoy some free snacks and drinks and generally unwind before your holiday begins.

Along with the aforementioned food and drinks, you can expect a range of newspapers and magazines, TV, games consoles and more to help keep you entertained. Each lounge also has wireless internet access to keep you connected right up until you board your flight. You'll feel right at home. So much so that you may not want to leave.
