Gatwick Airport - Overall ranking 6.2

  

  • WiFi                       8.0
  • Cellular                 6.5
  • Fixed Line           5.0
  • Powerpoints       5.5
  • Comfort                6.0
  • Cost                        6.0

North Terminal:

WiFi coverage is available from The Cloud, T-Mobile and BT.  The Cloud offers the best service and cheapest access rates. I find it is best to sit on the tables outside the cafe's on the mezzanine level, you will need to buy at least a coffee! This provides reasonable comfort levels and a suitable working environment.

There are a few pay per view fixed line kiosks here as well. No sign of any power sockets though.  On the main shopping rat run level T mobile provide a WiFi station that has power sockets, Cellular is fine

South Terminal: 

 
No information yet - if anyone as a review please let me know.

Lounges: 

Emirates: - If you are traveling with Emirates and have access to their lounge then internet access is great.

Free fast WiFi access is provided, this is not open access, (which is a plus) so you will require a key from the receptionist.  Comfort levels are good as this is a very large lounge, with plenty of space, seats, tables, food, drink etc. 

Power points are easily located if you look around.  Cellular is good. Fixed line access I don't remember seeing, but Emirates usually provide this, so may be there.  Cost, nominally free, but of course its in the cost of the ticket!

Probably the best business class lounge I have used.

Updates and input are all welcome
