A new Plaza Express concept has opened at London Gatwick Airport’s North Terminal. It is designed to offer leisure travellers the ‘Plaza Premium Lounge’ hospitality at more affordable entry rates, with high-speed Wi-Fi, cosy zoned seating and delicious food and drink.
Tailored for travellers seeking to enjoy light bites in a cosy setting, while offering runway views and a peaceful escape from the departure hall, the lounge serves a choice of breakfast from the buffet in the mornings until 11:00. Throughout the day, guests can visit the ‘build-your-own-dish’ stations where they can make their own burger, hot dog and salad at the ‘help yourself buffet’ stations, while fresh pizzas are prepared hot and fresh from the oven. All food, beer and soft drinks are unlimited.
“It’s with great pleasure that we announce our UK expansion with the launch of the new Plaza Express at London Gatwick Airport,” said Lorenzo Valori, Vice President of Commercial and Operations Europe, Plaza Premium Group. “The concept created allows us to expand our offering to a wider group of travellers with affordable entry prices to a vibrant inviting space and embrace the holiday spirit. Plaza Express is also a wonderful opportunity for large families travelling together to start their holiday in a warm, welcoming and spacious environment with an attractive entry price for adults and children.
