Just make sure to keep checking the screens to find out which gate it is going to be -- my last couple of trips they kept it a secret until about 30 mins before push-back !!
Happy travels
AMS often goes from the new pier (6?) gates 101-108 where you have to cross the taxiway via the big bridge. It's worth leaving the lounge early just to stop and admire the view. The lounge monitors give you the gate number long before the main lounge, so you'll know if it's worth leaving early.
LGW is also pretty good at calling CE and Gold/Silvers first when boarding.
Hope you enjoy the great LGW ground staff and cabin crew.
