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.

The scotch pie looks big enough for 2-3 people

i wouldn't read too much into that. Even the Belfast City Airport website still says it's still closed. It is open. I imagine their respective IT teams have more urgent things to deal with right now.

I wouldn't have imagined that BA would have the best lounge offerings within a European hub lounge at that time.
Maybe the second best after Air France's La Premiere Lounge in Paris but not third.

Had started avoiding the fishcake on the buffet, back in the day. Constantly "canteen" basic quality. Any change with the rebranding🤔

The oneworld website shows the lounge at BHD as BA-operated (and temporarily closed as you say), but I was sure Aspire had taken over the lounge early last year and the lounge is no longer BA-operated.

Us lowly Gold's do not get the Jerk Chicken....annoying as it sounds the best thing on the menu.
We also still have the hotwings (On the online menu at least)

Jackfruit sloppy joe with nachos? That doesn’t sound particularly appealing for the Concorde room/terrace. A good burger would be fine, but this sounds poor.
