No.1 Traveller expands

Airport lounges continue to expand and improve in quality.  No.1 Traveller says it is preparing for its busiest year yet by creating additional seating capacity at three of its pay-on-entry airport lounges in the London area.  New arrival for the operator is Hong Kong Airlines who has chosen the lounge for its daily service to Hong Kong which will be introduced in March.

No.1 Gatwick in the North Terminal will increase capacity by 30%.  In the South Terminal capacity is also planned to expand by 40% with an additional 1,000sq ft, making space for a new business area, games table and Snug.  Seating capacity at No.1 Heathrow in Terminal 3 will increase by 10% and a second treatment room will be added to its Travel Spa, which recently received a ’four bubble’ review by the Good Spa Guide.

All upgrades are expected to be completed prior to the London 2012 Olympic Games.

No.1 Traveller opened its first lounge in the UK at Gatwick’s South Terminal at the height of the recession, in April 2009.  In May 2011 the ‘super-lounge’ concept at Gatwick‘s North Terminal was launched, a 10,000sq ft facility, incorporating a fully-tended bar, bistro, business centre, mini-cinema, games room and family room. www.no1lounges.com
