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.

Hi. Is there a lounge open at Faro? I know the one BA usually use doesn't accept BA even if it's open. Thanks.

Does anyone know if I can use the First Wing as a BA Silver for a flight on Monday morning (economy...)? I seem to recall hearing a rumour about this but can't remember if Priority lanes are open....

no. that was only when GC wasn’t open, which it is now. So you would have to use the north or south security as normal now.

As a note, today the First Wing is open for check-in but security isn't. Have to use Fast track in main terminal area.

Thanks for the offer PG, but I'll stick with the champers. Some other time, maybe?
