Financial Times recommends gosimply.com for airport lounges

Wednesday, March 16th, 2011 by Nick

Here at gosimply.com, we’ve always been aware of the benefits that a relaxing start to your journey can have and we’ve always been keen to provide travellers with as much information as possible for the 100’s of airport parking, airport hotel and airport lounge services available. It’s always nice however when someone else recognises our hard work and the service we provide, as did the ‘Financial Times’ just last week.

The Stress of the Airport Terminal

Avoid the stress of the airport terminal

In their article, the Financial Times were talking about the various ways in which travellers could lessen the niggles and discomforts that economy flights of 4 hours or more can inflict and, you’ve guessed it, pre-booking an airport lounge was one of those recommendations.

Enjoy The Comfort Of An Airport Lounge

Relax In Style Before Boarding Your Flight

An airport lounge can help you to relax and get into the right frame of mind before you even board the flight. With prices starting from as little as £13.50 per person and inclusive of drinks and snacks, as well as other facilities to help you pass the time in comfort, an airport lounge is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the main terminal building. As the ‘Financial Times’ so kindly pointed out, this is where “Sites such as ‘gosimply.com’ can help”.

So next time you’re planning a journey, whether for business or pleasure, why not plan ahead and rather than dreading the airport experience, look forward to it as a welcome part of the overall journey plan.

Johannesburg Ready for 2010 World Cup

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 by Nick

Johannesburg is ready to welcome tens of thousands of visitors with open arms for the 2010 World Cup.

Extensive works at OR Tambo International Airport and the Coca-Cola Park Arena have been completed in readiness for the 2010 Fifa World Cup. The Confederations Cup on the 14th June this year between Bafana and Iraq is being seen by many as a dress rehearsal that will test the enhanced facilities at both the airport and venue.

Interest in South Africa and Johannesburg as a holiday and business destination has grown in popularity over the last decade with passenger numbers increasing from over 12 million to over 17 million between 2002 and 2006.  Air traffic movements increased by over 25,000  in the same period from around 175, 000 to more than 200, 000.

To cope with the increased demand of recent years and predicted future growth, improvements at Johannesburg OR Tambo International Airport have included: the construction of a main central terminal building, refurbishment of existing services such as the airport lounges at Johannesburg, the development of the international pier, construction of a multi-storey car park, road infrastructure development and a link to the multi-billion Gautrain station, amongst others.

With the huge investments made at the airport, the Coca-Cola Park Arena and in local infrustructure, Johannesburg is ready to demonstrate its ability to host a major part of one of the world’s biggest sporting events.

Celebrity spotting in Tenerife

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009 by Nick

Here’s a hot tip for all you intrepid travellers partial to a little celeb-spotting…….

A major Warner Bros picture ‘Clash of the Titans’ is scheduled to be filmed on location in Tenerife between 15th May and 3rd June. The main locations are the Teide National Park and along the coast in the districts of Icod, Buenavista del Norte and Guía de Isora.

Celebrity spotting

So, if you were considering a last minute deal to Tenerife before the summer rush take our advice and book yourself a lounge at Tenerife Airport. Who knows – you could be relaxing with the paper and a nice cup of Joe when all of a sudden Ralph Fiennes taps you on the shoulder and asks “Is this seat taken?”. Cue a full scale debate with Mr Fiennes as to whether the remake will be better than the 1981 classic – or perhaps he’ll simply make polite conversation about the state of the world economy. Either way – we think it’s a great opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the beautiful people!

PS – Don’t forget your camera.

Gatwick Airport No.1 Lounge proves a favourite

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 by Casey

The No. 1 Lounge serving Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal is proving a favourite with travellers, resulting in only a few spaces left for the first part of May 2009.

No 1 Lounge at Gatwick AirportThe lounge opened earlier this month and has quickly proven to be a popular choice for air travel passengers flying out of Gatwick.  Between the 3rd and 9th of May the lounge has almost reached its capacity, so if you’re thinking of booking your stay at this great new lounge it’s a good idea to act now!

Of course, if you miss out on the No. 1 Gatwick Lounge you can still choose the Servisair Lingfield Lounge, which features many of the same amenities and also serves the South Terminal.

Don’t forget, our pre-booking service allows you to reserve a space at an airport lounge. Enjoy some V.I.P luxury away from the ever-present chaos of the terminal building.

Gatwick Airport lounge opening delayed

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009 by Casey

The opening of the No.1 Gatwick Airport lounge, scheduled for today, has been delayed until 13 April 2009 due to the construction taking longer to complete than originally planned.

No 1 Lounge at Gatwick AirportThis amazing new lounge serving Gatwick Airport’s South Terminal blends modern and classic design to stunning effect.  Windows from floor to ceiling provide fantastic, panoramic views of the runway and surrounding countryside, and guests will be able to treat themselves to a freshly-prepared meal or relaxing drink from the bar.

Destined to become a popular haven for customers wanting VIP airport lounge treatment, the No. 1 Lounge will be available to pre-book with gosimply.com as soon as it opens for business.

Gatwick Lingfield Lounge gets a facelift

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 by Nick

The Gatwick Servisair Lingfield lounge is to close on Monday 26th January 2009 for refurbishment. The renovation project is expected to take approximately 3-4 weeks.
