LHR arrivals lounge from AMS connection
Hi all,
Searched the LHR thread, but couldn't find anything.
I will be flying JFK-AMS-LHR next month in D1. I arrive at LHR around 8am and would love to be able to take a shower before heading to a morning meeting.
Will I have access to an arrivals lounge of any variety? I'm a PM and have the version of Priority Pass that an AMEX gets you if that matters at all.
Thanks!

Check the wiki in the Flying to London thread.
Your other option is to shower during your layover in AMS. Just be sure to put your name on the waiting list as soon as you reach the lounge.

You will definitely be arriving at T4 if traveling KLM AMS-LHR. (unless something has changed recently)

I am sitting here in the lounge and just asked the attendant the question for you....
She said yes - All arriving pax in BE are eligible for entry.
If you just present you arriving boarding pass, they will let you in.
The showers here are really nice, BTW. It's a very pleasant and civilised place.

Should I expect any wait for a shower at T3 late morning on a Sunday? It looks like I'll be taking the Connect or Express, so I'll be going through T3 anyhow and it seems like an easier entry on a PDX-AMS-LHR D1 tix than the Yotel at T4.

The shower rooms have this great double door thing for complimentary garment pressing. Everyone in my morning business meeting wondered how I looked so polished and refreshed after traveling overnight!

Failing that, the walk/refreshed ratio in my mind probably makes it a non-issue to go up to the T4 lounge, though getting there and having a long wait would suck, but that sounds like a good gamble

I'll probably give the Yotel a shot before I leave T3, but I have a feeling since I won't fly directly into LHR on the Transatlantic leg that they won't let me in.
