Usually go in one of them as part of my holiday package. Free newspapers, tea, coffee and biscuits etc. Some have beers. If its busy in the terminal the lounge is quiet and worth it.
Not really free as you pay about £18-£20 pp in one lounge, or £25-£30 in another (more facilities), but your food & booze (apart from al a carte menu & champagne) are complimentary.
Get it for a fiver as part of my bank account. Excellent way to start the hols. Couple of beers, vodkas wine etc plus lots of snack foods such as pastries crisps peanuts sandwiches etc. no waiting ages to get a seat in the pub and nice and relaxed. Well worth it in my opinion.
Use them all the time - well worth it. Nice and quiet atmosphere, decent seats, TV, beer, wine, spirits and snacks - you would spened more than £20 on these items in the airport anyway.
If you travel a lot then worth joining your preferred airline 'Lounge Club' - as others have said you can spend a fortune on drinks and food at the airport so it can be a big saver.
The best part is that they only let the card holder in so the wife and kids have to piss off to McDonalds and leave you to get bladdered in peace.
I get it free 4 times a year with my bank account. I've used Gatwick several times and its great if you have an early flight before hotel breakfast. Worth it for me as I get it as part of my bank account.
