Plenty of seating in the departure lounge at LGW South? You must be kidding!

For some easyJet passengers, another problem with delaying "Go To Gate" is that "Speedy Boarding", "SA" and group A have all sometimes been called before many passengers have reached the gate.

To return to Stansted, why display the gate number beside "Wait in Lounge"? It's an invitation to some pax!

On one occasion, we were at around ETD -40 minutes and it was still displaying "Wait in Lounge". Knowing that it can take some time to get to the gate using the transit (and remembering that on one occasion it broke down!) I decided to make my way to the gate. The flight was late but there was no indication of that in the shopping mall so I didn't know this. Furthermore, being web check in - and therefore having no hold luggage - you can imagine that I did not want to be seen as a "no show" simply because I'd waited in the lounge too long.
