  • Airport departure lounges, worth it?

    Have a 6am flight from Stansted in the summer, and am torn between:

    1. Driving after work, staying in a hotel, heading to the terminal an appropriate time before the flight (no lounge)
    2. leaving in the early hours of the morning, getting there early, hitting the lounge at 4am (opening time) and rinsing it for 90minutes before boarding
    3. as 2 but just going to Pret for breakfast (no lounge)

    Only had lounge access once due to BA bollocking up seats and it was part of the compo, but it was later in the day and I caned the free London Pride.
    No idea what the Stansted lounge is like or even if they have much on at 4am.

    The lounge at Stansted is a bit shit IME and not worth it. Pret will be rammed full. I'd go for no. 1. The Radisson Blu next to the airport has a really cool wine cooler/storage column where a lady on a trapeze goes and fetches your bottle of wine for you and the last time I stayed there breakfast started very, very early.
