5. All depends on the gate, no specific advice here, just keep an eye on the departure screens. Other threads have said that priority boarding is usually better enforced at LGW.
1. Use the platform exit staircase towards the back of the train (marked no exit ) which will take you up into the station ticket office area. Turn left at the top of the staircase and keep walking until you come to the moving walkway to the North terminal transit on your right. If you use the platform exit towards the middle of the train you will end up in the South Terminal and have to navigate your way through the seething mass of FlyMaybe PAX

5. Non-domestic flights depart from Gates 45-54, or 59-63, or 101-113, so keep an eye on the screens. For gates 59-63, turn left after you leave the lounge area and head back through the shopping mall and past security. For gates 45-54 and 101-113 turn right after you leave the lounge area. Depending on how fast you walk, gates 101-113 can be a 5-8 minute walk across the "scenic bridge" from the lounge.

Sunrisegirl will be along soon to correct any errors!
