Rail operator offers free airport lounge entry

STANSTED Express has followed in the footsteps of Gatwick Express in offering first class customers free airport lounge entry courtesy of No.1 Traveller, along with fast-track security access. The free entry does not include dishes from the kitchen or alcoholic drinks from the bar – guests will need to pay an extra £7.50 for these privileges. In-lounge facilities include free wifi internet access, and a choice of magazine and newspapers.

Last month Gatwick Express announced a partnership with No.1 Traveller, allowing passengers with first class return tickets entry into the group’s lounges at Gatwick’s North or South Terminals. No.1 Traveller recently opened its latest lounge at Gatwick airport’s North Terminal and the group is also set to open its first lounge at Heathrow airport next month.
