5 Tips For Trendy Gatwick Travellers

Gatwick is a great launchpad for the world’s most glam destinations.

It offers direct connections for weekend trips to beautiful Barcelona, chill-out holidays in Cape Town’s chic Camps Bay, dancehall parties in Jamaica and catwalk shows in Manhattan.

So as far as fashionistas are concerned, LGW is a launchpad to living life like a ledge, but if you’ve not been there for a while, you might need some tips on ensuring that your pre-flight period is as perfect as the rest of your holiday.

So with that in mind, here are five tips for trendy Gatwick travellers.

1.    Retail therapy

As a dedicated follower of fashion, you’ll probably be super organised and plan your suitcase packing weeks ahead, intent on leaving no essential item at home when it could be helping you live your best life at your dream destination.

However, it’s sod’s law that even the best-organised amongst us sometimes forget something important – so you’ll be glad to know that LGW has a host of high end stores for your perusal, including Boss, Lacoste and Harrods.

2.    Fine food

You probably don’t want to stuff yourself before boarding a flight – nothing spoils your cool composure more than stifling burps in order to avoid embarrassment!

But if you leave your cuisine intake to fate then you’ll have to settle for whatever’s on offer on your plane and although airline food is always improving, it sometimes leaves a little to be desired. So play it safe and grab a bite at one of Gatwick’s elegant eateries – Caviar House & Prunier is a pretty good pick.

3.    Lovely lounges

Airport concourses can get rather hectic at times, and in a bustling airport like Gatwick, busy as hell is definitely the default mode.

However, if you’re seeking an exclusive sanctuary where you can ensure your face is on fleek and chill out with a cocktail, LoungeBuddy offers access to the airport lounges at LGW at surprisingly reasonable prices. And whether you choose My Lounge, No 1 Lounges or Regus Express Business Lounge, you’ll feel unwound all the way by the time you board.

4.    Marvellous massage

Some of us are more confident travellers than others, so if you’re feeling antsy ahead of your flight for any reason, one of the best ways to relax is by booking a massage or beauty treatment.

If this sounds sublime, AeroSpa is located airside at South Terminal and you can choose from a clutch of terrific treatments like chair massages, manicures, pedicures and brow and lash treatments. By the time you emerge from your session, you’ll be paparazzi-ready!

5.    Parking pointers

‘What has parking got to do with looking great?’ we hear you say.

It’s simple really – get to Gatwick via public transport and you risk replacing your favourite perfume with the random scents of your fellow travellers and your amazing airport ensemble looking completely crushed.

So avoid feeling crestfallen and travel in your own car instead – book Gatwick airport parking from SkyParkSecure for peace of mind and arrive looking like the superstar you are.That’s our list! Share your own trendy Gatwick tips in the comments section.
