Many Brits wish they could head to a lounge when they reach the airport for drinks, free food and a comfortable place to sit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But, unless you\u2019re flying first or business class you usually have to pay for access to such areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Whether it\u2019s \u00a320 or \u00a340 it\u2019s an added cost to your holiday \u2013 though many shell out for it to avoid the cramped and loud airport common areas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well, now there\u2019s a brand new airport lounge at Gatwick that\u2019s totally free to use.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Although, only certain people can enter the area which has comfortable seats and complimentary food.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The \u201cRoam Freely\u201d lounge gives out snacks and drinks for free and there are work spaces so anyone who needs to get to business can do so with ease.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Plus, there are plenty of charging points to keep your electronics fully juiced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Those who get access to the space can use the Disney+ room to watch films if delayed while there\u2019s also a beach-themed photo area.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So, how do you get access to the lounge? You must be a customer of either O2 or Virgin Media.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And, you have to remember to book your access ahead of getting to the airport.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Priority members need to go through the Priority apron their phone and pick a slot that works for them.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Customers can take one adult and up to six kids under the age of 16 into the lounge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Make sure that you\u2019re flying from the correct terminal though as the lounge is in Gatwick\u2019s North Terminal and it can take a while to go from there to the South Terminal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Airports globally also allow free lounge access to Priority members with SmartDelay if the flight is delayed by an hour or more.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Check on the app to see if your airport is included in this.\u00a0<\/p>\n

O2 customers need to book the bonus by registering their phone number with Priority while Virgin Media users just need to get the app and sign up with their account email.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lounge will be available until October this year, reports the Sun.<\/p>\n
