I have used two lounges at Gatwick and to be honest I do not remember seeing a child's playing area. If there have been children they have been older than 5.

You may get a better idea of a lounge's facilities if you go onto your airport's website.

thanks, thats where i got the idea from, and when i typed in all our details it came out with a price of 15pounds each. It even asked for my childs age, so im certain he will be allowed in.

I was thinking of using the lounge because after we have bought a few drinks the cost mounts up, but then again i doubt we spend more than 40pounds, as we don't drink alcoholic drinks before flying.

morning yummymummy we got the airport lounge a few weeks back for £14 at that price you had to take it because as you know for 2 coffees at the airport its almost five pounds plus we always have about 3 drinks and a bite to eat so all in you can spend a right few pounds ..I took water coke crisps and biscuits out with me for the flight so to me its a good idea ...have to say sydney is right there were no kids in the lounge ......colleen

Thanks IC, i will have another look on the airport site
Just checked and it says children of all ages welcome.

I used the lounge at Gatwick as well. It's great, and as said, by the time you have had a few coffees, snacks, drinks etc it's pays for itself. It's also very quiet.
There was one child of about 3 or 4 when I was there and that was all. She was delighted at the size of the planes!!

thanks for your reply celcat

Ive used a lounge at Gatwick a couple of times, but I am sure it was over 12's only. as my youngest was just old enough to be allowed in. Perhaps there are two ? So make sure you get the right one ?
