For those who missed this story two weeks ago when I had it as a Head for Points exclusive
http://www.headforpoints.com/2015/04...inal-5-lounge/ ....
Heathrow confirmed today that an Aspire (Servisair) lounge will open in T5 in the Summer. I believe it is July.

Not yet confirmed it will accept Priority Pass but very likely. Lounge Club may be more marginal, I guess it depends how busy it gets.
No need to worry about retaining status now :-)
Disappointing that it didn't go to Plaza Premium or No 1 Traveller but we can't really complain. Wonder if they will purposely make the food better than Galleries just to annoy BA or if they will try to control numbers by keeping BA flyers upstairs.
We already have the odd situation in Amsterdam where BA premium passengers with a Priority Pass are shunning the new BA lounge for the Aspire lounge opposite because of the better food .....
