Free ‘Holidata’ Lounge pop-up opens at London Victoria this August bank holiday
August 23, 2025 @ 11:00 AM - August 24, 2025 @ 5:00 PM
With almost two in three Brits (61 per cent) favouring summer group getaways, August is one of the busiest times of the year to travel, with airports like London Gatwick gearing up for 900 flights a day during peak weekends.
giffgaff, the mobile provider, is helping Brits level up their pre-flight routine with its Holidata Lounge – the perfect travel pitstop to get holiday ready with your pals, just steps from the Gatwick Express platform at London Victoria Station.
New research from giffgaff reveals that two in five Brits (40 per cent) love the build-up to a holiday and get excited by the journey, but over a quarter (27%) admit they feel anxious or stressed during that time.
That’s where giffgaff’s Holidata Lounge comes in – with the data showing that access to a free departure lounge would set nearly half of Brits (43 per cent) up for the ultimate holiday.
To celebrate the launch of giffgaff’s new travel data add-ons available for over 40 EU countries and selected locations, plus its current offering of up to 5GB of inclusive roaming at no extra cost, this one-stop vibe station will bring lounge luxury, data roaming support, and pre-travel perks to your holiday departure day.
What to expect at The Holidata Lounge:
- Pre-flight fizz at the Ball Pool Bar to start your trip in style
- A holidata Roaming Rep to help you get roaming-ready before takeoff
- Pick ‘n’ Mix Travel Treats for you to choose from, including free travel goodies and giffgaff SIMs to help you stay connected
- Air-obics sessions to keep you flexible, loose, and limber before you board, like giffgaff’s data plans
- Priority access and queue jump to the lounge for giffgaff members
The Holidata Lounge is open to all, with no need for a boarding pass, on Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th August 2025, in London Victoria Station, between 11am and 5pm both days.
