World's best airport lounges examined

World's best airport lounges examined
The top ten best airport lounges in the world include no fewer than three UK-based facilities, it has been claimed.

Undertaking research for the Telegraph, travel writer Jeffrey Mills visited some of the world's most luxurious gate-side lounges and rated their offerings.

He claimed that the First Class Concorde Room lounge at Heathrow Airport for first-class British Airways passengers, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at the same hub and the British Airways Terraces at Gatwick Airport offer world-class services for both leisure and business travellers.

These include hairdressing facilities, luxurious showers, spa services such as massages and top-of-the-range web and business offerings, among others.

Mr Mills also sang the praises of lounges run by Lufthansa, Emirates and Cathay Pacific at hubs in Frankfurt, Dubai and Hong Kong respectively.

The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Heathrow was recently voted the best business class lounge in the world in the 2007 World Airline Awards run by Skytrax.
