Two routes will be moving to LGW South ahead of the formal move date.

from 11 January 2017: BA2273 will depart for JFK out of the South Terminal
from 12 January 2017: BA2272 will arrive into the South Terminal from JFK
from 19 January 2017: BA Naples flights will operate in/out of the South Terminal
Customers on these flights should check in at Zone A within the South Terminal

from 25 January 2017: all other BA flights will operate in/out of the South Terminal.


The BA First and Terraces lounges in the North Terminal closed on the evening of 04 January 2016. BA passengers can now use the No.1 Lounge and My Lounge in the North Terminal until the date BA moves its operations to the South Terminal (currently estimated to happen in November 2016), where there will be a new British Airways lounge. The new British Airways lounge in the South Terminal is anticipated to follow the latest concept found at EDI, GLA, IAD, CPT and SIN, and will include a dedicated area for First and oneworld Emerald passengers. It is not yet clear what form this area will take (ie. whether it will be a separate First lounge or include a Concorde Bar/Dining concept). For more information, see here and here

For information on the temporary lounge arrangements in LGW North, see this thread:
Temporary BA Lounge at LGW North - No. 1 Lounge - Photos, reviews, questions
By way of guidance, the above Lounge thread is for direct questions and experiences on the No. 1 lounge, whereas the thread here below is suitable for discussing the broader issues arising from the move to South.

Overheard in LGW flounge today that the move is now March 2017, and rumour of a new lounge called the clubroom for F and GCH.

Desk staff talking to customer, as opposed to inter-staff chit-chat/Galley FM

Wow!
That won't be confusing....

(I take it you mean March 2017- so 14 months with no BA lounge at LGW?)

Oh, a 3-month program slip?

I must find another route out of JER, as it seems LGW is now becoming a bad joke.

Currently JER-LGW/LHR-DUB

Direct DUB would be nice on oneworld, but such routes have been seasonal for a long time. I shall see what EI/AEG decides to do!!

And LGW is still needed for our BA 2-4-1 Caribbean trips

Now we're well into December, do we have a definite closure date for the BA terraces lounge and F lounge? What will be the process upon arriving at Gatwick once they're closed?

This is the sort of information Mr Hillier should be sending to BAEC Members, instead of the marketing dribble his office usually generates.

And pigs might fly.

Can't believe that EI hasn't made JER-DUB year round yet.

I will soon have the option of 4 weekly off peak and daily peak into Dublin and the ability to book right up until 2017 as it currently stands
