ACC - Aviance Adinkra Lounge.

Small but very well appointed. Also used by British Airways, Lufthansa, South African, Virgin Atlantic and others so can get crowded if the Emirates departures are delayed (but thankfully no conflicts at scheduled departure time!). Decently stocked with snacks (not "real" food though) and drinks (including generous selection of self service alcohol). Wonderful staff who bend over backwards for any requests. No showers. Free wifi at decent speeds (for Ghana) throughout the lounge.

Rating : 7.5/10

AMS - Servisair Lounge.

Don't bother. It's tiny, shabby and has poor facilities and even poorer food/drink selection. A solid 10-15 minute walk from Emirates' usual departure gates on concourse G, so you are better off skipping it and heading there directly. Very friendly staff though and a decent British newspaper selection that they allow you to take with you, but those may be the only saving graces.

LGW - Emirates Lounge

Very spacious for the size of operation. Located within the "lounge complex" at Gatwick North. Very friendly and helpful staff who always address you by name. Great buffet selection that is constantly replenished. A chef is also on hand to answer any questions about the ingredients for those with dietary restrictions. Nice showers available, although these can get quite busy for the morning and evening departures (the mid-day one is usually quiet though). Lots of power ports sprinkled throughout the lounge so never any issue plugging in to recharge. Overall, my favourite lounge in the Emirates network.
