I don't like flying and I don't like airports! Can you take children into the executive lounges at Gatwick to make the journey any more bearable?

Yes, you can, and plenty of people do, although you might get stuffy looks from the business travellers there!

You can take children and babies into the Servisair Lingfield Lounge in the South Terminal at £17.95 per person; the lougne has a bar, snacks, magazines and newspapers, comfortable seating and loos. The Aviance Lounge in the North Terminal costs the same and takes children over eight only. You can book the Servisair lounge on www.executivelounges.com or just turn up - but they will close it if it's full.

Bon voyage!
