List of Lounges Currently OPEN to BA Passengers (open wiki for details)
This wiki includes details of open lounges accessible to premium (F/J or Gold/Silver) passengers travelling on BA operated services, either within the terminal BA depart from or accessible via airside transfer.
Other lounges may be accessible for passengers willing to transfer landside to other terminals or concourses, although this is generally not recommended due to time constraints as a result of needing to re-clear security. Additionally, some airports may offer pay-in lounges which are not otherwise accessible by BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently).
Most open lounges are operating with a limited food and beverage service, and other services may be unavailable or modified.
For opening hours, please check the oneworld lounge listing at https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location= which is now being regularly updated.
If your airport isn't listed below, this probably means there is no lounge available for BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently) - please check the oneworld listing for the most up-to-date information.

By the way, a reminder that traffic on LHR-JFK is only limited to US citizens/residents and several visa type holders, and JFK-LHR is limited to passengers who wish to self-isolate in the UK for 5 days upon arrival from the USA, plus some transfer passengers.

At the moment T7 is closed an BA is using T8, where they don't have their own lounges but eligible pax can use what AA has on offer. Not sure how much BA has to say what service levels are offered by AA in their lounges.

That indeed was the situation at the start of the pandemic but BA and other airlines are now back in a somewhat ghostly T7. T8 was nice while it lasted, and of course BA will be returning there, but not for a few years I would suspect now.

Does anyone know whether the BA is using the business / first lounge in BOM?
The lounge itself seems open but not sure whether Club World gets access ?

Most likely, there is no lounge for a passenger on a BA Club World ticket to access without other means.

I must say that the service is excellent. I could not have helped myself too much faster than the staff did when bringing drinks.

Am sat in the lounge today and it is just as busy. However there are waves of busy and not so busy times. Yes I have a long wait for my flight.

No restrictions. Nobody asked to see my PCR test result on my flight here from CDG or anything.
However good news. They are going around the business lounge and telling everyone the lounge is closed and we should all go down to Galleries First. Yea! Better quality alcohol everyone!
