I read on here not so long ago that there are strong rumours that the BA lounge may not reopen.

Eligible BA passengers are able to use the Aspire Lounge next door.

Can anybody update me on lounge access in FRA. The website shows that the Sakura lounge is only open from 1600 to service JAL flights, and BA does not seem to have access to any of the other lounges in T2. I have Gold status and will be flying CE

I think I am posting in the right place... first time flying BA in years. If you were flying a flight from LAX-LHR-TLV (Tel Aviv Israel) as an AA Platinum Pro booked in BA Business, which lounges would you visit if flying today based on what is open... and then pretending all lounges are open, which might you visit? I have a couple of VERY tight layovers and a couple of long ones, so just assume time is not an issue If you're curious, flight is from March 31 to 3rd week of April (I didn't realize I was going to be there during part of Passover, oh my).

Thanks!

On the OneWorld site, the Apartment lounge at Copenhagen T2 does not have BA listed as an airline. However it IS listed under the Eventyr Lounge at T3... trouble is, the flights are currently running from T2!

I'm not actually booked to fly CE return, (nor do I have any status) but would consider a last minute upgrade if I knew I could get access to lounge and a good meal within. Any recent experiences?

EDIT: Further research tells me that it is 1 integrated terminal so I guess it's not an issue. Also looks like there may be some decent food options elsewhere in the airport.

I was in the Lounge in BCN yesterday - Terminal 1 D gates area, operated by 3rd Party, so not sure what is going on on the website?

Update from OTP - Only the TAROM lounge currently open but BA are not currently paying for access!

And, as mentioned previously, the lounge(s) are above gate 3 (TAROM) and gate 12 (MasterCard) - not above gate 7 as per the guide. There is another lounge above gate 7 but that does to include BA access.

That is no longer correct. I used the Business Class part on 12/31/21. The First Class section was closed though.

Came through Amsterdam today. BA lounge remains closed. Lady at check in told me they'd been told it would reopen last week, but the day came and went and there's been no news. Lights were on inside (although I think I've read that before). You still need to take a covid test to get into the Netherlands, so wonder if that is the reason for the delay. But flights both way were pretty busy (a B787 on the way out, though likely for cargo reasons).

I had an email from BA today, informing me of a Terminal change at ARN from 2 to 5. First of all, I was surprised that it would have 5 terminals! I guess lounge access will be Menzies, but any other insights appreciated.
