Will this new lounge grant access to One World status members or will they tell them to go to the BA lounges? (just want to check out the new lounge)

Just about to lose my silver card. Should hopefully hit it again in the next 6 months or so. But I've just picked up PP through my bank, so this will be a bridge and may even get me a shower faster.
Aspire lounge for a shower, then back to BA for snacks and wine(depend in who has the best choice).

Hassle, what hassle? Personally I'm extremely happy with NatWest Black - as well as the priority pass cards, there's global travel insurance for the family. The other insurance and home emergency cover features have also proved immensely valuable with prompt response when called.

I haven't been given a date. Personally I think you won't be in luck this time, it seems some way off completion to me and they can only work on it for a few hours a day - but as I say I have no inside information.
What you could do is Twitter Aspire @airportlounges since they seem to have a very active Social Media team. And then perhaps let us know?!

Thanks. I know they said they would open in July but we are too early. Only get back into BA lounges after that flight.
I registered on Twitter years ago and then couldn't work out what to do or what the point was so wouldn't even know my details now

Yes, the new lounge will be below the Galleries First terrace. There used to be a nice little cafe in the space.

They do not verify whether you can access another lounge.
(I have personal experience of this as I have used PP to enter the dnata lounge in SIN flying out on QR J-it was easier to get my PP card out of my wallet than take out my PP and boarding pass.)
