As you enter there is a left turn for F (obviously... 
) and right to GC. That was closed and I saw a BA delegation being taken through as we entered. So doesn't look open at the moment but the opening of GF can only be a good sign morning forward.

You've had a good week on BA really! Thanks for the report, and I hope you have a good flight to Florida. Aidy I think is Silver going to JER, which may be why he was in Clubrooms.

Looks good to me. Thanks for sharing. Hopefully will be more updates throughout the day. Pity I won't get to use it in the near future as will be dropping to silver soon.

Good news that it's (a) open, and (b) seems quite an improvement on the old one - pending ability to order off the menu. There in 5 weeks time for a long RAK weekend

Food is the same as first lounge in T5 from what I can see. It's very light and airy. Great views of the runway. I think I prefer it to the T5 frist lounge. It is a bit
smaller.
Ive never seen so many staff in the lounge ha

I'm quite enthused by the LGW Flounge from the pictures. A runway view is such a boon, and if it's bigger than the previous lounge then I'm happy to call that an improvement, menu or not.

Just got to Gatwick and was advised that there was a surprise if I headed to the Clubrooms at check-in. Needless to say they're directing via a back route there behind the hoarding at the moment.
Quite quiet in here at the moment - I'm quite impressed with what they've managed, and I'd say almost better than GF at T5. Staff are literally everywhere fettling around though at the moment!
