Amex Platinum — is it worth £650

A complete guide to what Amex Platinum's £650 annual fee actually buys — dining credits, lounge access, hotel status, Fine Hotels & Resorts, and travel insurance.

The Platinum Card packs more benefits into one annual fee than any other UK travel card. Here’s everything you get — and how to decide if £650 actually makes sense for you.

Priority Pass – is it worth it?

Priority Pass gives you access to over 1,800 airport lounges worldwide — but is it worth paying for directly, or should you get it through a card? Here’s the honest maths.

Best Lounge at Gatwick South

Gatwick South has six lounges across two very different tiers. BA status holders have the best options — but Priority Pass cardholders need to know which lounge to book, and when.

Best Lounge at Gatwick North

Seven lounges, no airline alliance products, and one rule: Emirates passengers aside, everything comes down to your card. Here’s which room to book and why.

Aer Lingus Lounge, T2 Heathrow

Refurbished 2024 airline lounge with floor-to-ceiling airfield views — the only lounge in the main T2A building with natural light. Open to BA Gold and Silver when flying Aer Lingus.

No 1 Lounge, T2 Heathrow

Design-led independent lounge with boutique hotel aesthetics, signature cocktails and a fully tended bar. No windows or showers, but the best atmosphere of any PP option at T2.
