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.

For UrbanLegend or anyone else recently flying from SEA, can you update us on what the club world hard product is? I had heard that by now flights 48 and 49 were to be operating 787-10’s with club suites, but looking at bookings recently it appears they still are running 787-9’s with the old yin yang seats.
Glad to see more lounges opening up.

Oh, and by the way, don't count on the lounge. Unless things changed this week, it is closed. Alaska Board Room is open, but remember to leave in plenty of time - it takes 15-20 minutes to get from there to South gates.
Just checked and Sea-tac site confirms BA lounge is still closed: https://www.portseattle.org/services...irport-lounges

It is primarily CW on 789 in 4 class configuration. BA only used 78X twice on this route this summer (if my memory serves me well, both times in June).

Having coughed up over £600 for a CE flight to WAW, it was a bit of a surprise to find the Bolero lounge closed. It’s a pretty sad place at the best of times, but this adds insult to injury. I’m pretty hard to annoy, but come on…

Have a look at this post, it appears the BA SEA lounge opened yesterday: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/33464928-post2831.html
Looking at the fab foods on display, unless they are fully stocked with premium booze, I would give it a pass and hit Alaska's lounge instead.
Seriously, I appreciate Covid challenges and all, but with that quality of offering BA might have been better off just keeping this lounge closed.

Oops. That was embarrassing. Sorry, I should have made that small effort and scrolled down to the next post.

The gate was quite busy. I’d estimate the flight was half full.
My BA48 bookings for Oct and beyond all show 78X. Some are CWS so hope that sticks.
On arrival the CCT bar selection looked good.

The EDI lounge staff are doing a stirling job, with a smile on their faces. The food offering is still very limited but the welcome is warm.
One discovery at LHR T5; the pies are back "ad lib" tucked behind the cake stand near the main loos (you know where I mean!). Biit of a challenge finding cutlery, but worth the effort. Self-service drinks are also back, but table service is still available. All in all, a pretty good show.

As a rum drinker I can't tell you how offended I am by the Dead Man's Fingers there (I believe they had more than one in the last pic I saw).
Their alcohol purchaser needs an education in something other than Whisky, Cognac and Champagne! Of course, many would argue they need an education in alcohol full stop...

I think the bigger education gap is the 'beer' section only having Heineken - do we know if the ales are there for self-serve? It seems a massive false economy to save putting out a few cans of tribute/speedbird and push everyone to the whisky, cognac or champagne you mention...

Well they used to have some speedbird in the central refrigerated bar, but it hasn't re-appeared this year. There are some soft drinks and tonics in cans there, but in terms of beer it is just Heineken.

I really dislike Heineken.
I'm still missing Amstel light, but that probably a good thing as l liked it too much. 😁
I have always been surprised by the lack of beer selection at LHR lounges, compared to large select of liquor/spirits and wine
