Is there that much call for aircon at EDI? I appreciate the recent warm weather but short of streams of water landing on pax heads( a potential actual issue I accept) is it really a valid reason for closing an entire lounge. I'd be sending an email in the hopes if some avios for your inconvenience at least. No voucher BA is going to issue me will ever come close to my consumption value in a lounge.

But Champagne is a light refreshment, thus covered by the voucher/s, no?

I can understand it. The current 18C in Aberdeen must make it seem tropical compared to the usual summer temperature of slightly above zero.

Good luck with that. I complained when the GLA lounge was shut for the day last year and it was the typical “sorry not sorry” response.

They could turn it into a FinnAir lounge with sauna!

Exclamation BA Aberdeen Lounge closed today

Be aware the ABZ lounge is closed today (Mon July 30) due to an AirCon failure (apparently temps of >30C).. Vouchers for Costa etc as compensation are available from the gate agent. Not sure if this will be quickly fixed today or drag on a bit.

Told me the temps inside were over 30C - so indeed hot for the North East!

I thought the BA lounge was shut for refurb anyway? Been a while since I looked in there, so excuse me.

18C+ all day here in the north can indeed build to some uncomfortably high temperatures in enclosed areas.

Weather wan't so great around July 30th but only a few days before my patio thermostat , in sheltered sunny area, was showing 36C.

The new/ refurbed lounge was opened in May. I'm flying up there Sunday and was simply wondering if the AC had been fixed.

Nice to know the weather has been good too.
