South Terminal has the stronger lounge line-up of Gatwick's two terminals — it's the only side with an outdoor terrace lounge and the only side with British Airways lounges. This guide covers every option — hours, features, price, and which access schemes (Priority Pass, Amex, BA/Oneworld status) get you in.
South Terminal lounges
- My Lounge (South) — the standout of the two terminals: Gatwick's only lounge with an outdoor terrace and apron views. Consistently rated above its North Terminal sister lounge. From £34 pre-booked; accepts Priority Pass.
- No1 Lounge (South) — same pricing and access as its North Terminal counterpart: from £38 pre-booked, with pre-booked guests able to arrive up to three hours before their flight. Accepts Priority Pass (£6 supplement applies).
- Club Aspire (South) — reopened March 2023 after previously closing. Runway-facing glass wall, semi-private booths. Accepts Priority Pass and DragonPass, but pre-booking is strongly advised, as walk-ups aren't guaranteed entry. From £36.
- Clubrooms (South) — table service and Fast Track security included. Adults-only (no under-12s). From £44; Priority Pass accepted with a £15 supplement.
- British Airways Club Lounge — for BA First and Club World/Club Europe ticket holders, BA Executive Club Silver/Gold members, and Oneworld Sapphire/Emerald members (plus one guest). Not open to public walk-in or day-pass purchase.
- British Airways First Lounge — reserved for BA First passengers, BA Executive Club Gold members, and Oneworld Emerald members only. No public access.

Which South Terminal lounge should I pick?
If you can only pick one thing from this list, it's My Lounge's terrace — it's the one seat at Gatwick where you can sit outside before a flight, and at £34 it's mid-range rather than a premium price. Club Aspire is the pick for a quieter, more design-led space, but book ahead — it doesn't reliably take walk-ins. Clubrooms suits an adults-only, table-service wait. If you're flying BA or hold Oneworld status, the two BA lounges are worth checking your eligibility for before paying for anything else, since they're free to eligible passengers.
Dress code: smart-casual required across the paid lounges; sportswear, swimwear and bare feet typically aren't permitted. No1 Lounge and Clubrooms enforce this strictly.
