Theres been a culling of some domestic rotations for July over the last couple of days.

From gate level in T5B, it appears as though the Galleries Club lounge has received some new furniture in preparation for re-opening at some point. I hope the carpet has also been replaced, as it was the original from when the lounge opened in 2009!

Apologies if this has been asked already but what is the current state of Galleries South? Is it open all day? Anyone happen to have a recent breakfast menu? Thank you!

Grace B

I'm all for a glass of champagne with breakfast, but who drinks spirits for breakfast?

alex67500

Bloody Mary? There's a Red Snapper as well (same with gin instead).

Gavin C

I’m partial to a G&T before an early morning flight

krispy84

If BA are going to offer a full alcohol service later in the day, it seems rather puritanical and moralistic to restrict breakfast drinks to those deemed ‘suitable’.

Let people make their own decisions.

pazza2000

Surprised at this as the few flights flying between LON seem full (at least the ones I’ve taken), and you would think it would be relatively easy to open both the GLA and EDI lounges as per their spacious set up! Hopefully July will seem them reopened.

KARFA

I think the problem is BA have recently gone back in to cost limitation mode as you may have seen with the reporting a week ago of putting managers on furlough. Basically anything which costs money and doesn't generate immediate revenue is vetoed atm.

KSVVZ2015

Which is quite short sited given that failing to spend money may cost money. When evaluating routes with multiple options - lounges, catering, and even boarding procedures (whether back to normal or not) - are factoring into the decision.

KARFA

I understand your argument, but if you are in a business which has been losing significant amounts of money for well over a year, and there seems no end in sight with summer travel looking increasingly unlikely, what is your priority? Investing for the future or guarding your cash pile as best you can to allow you to survive until travel picks up?
