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.

Where can I view the current food options for LHR T5 GC? Is it an all day menu after breakfast from 1000 onwards?

https://t5s.yourmenu.cloud/viewmenu.php

use the current wifi password which will be shown in your ba app for any exLHR ba booking

breakfast is until 1100, and after it changes to the res of the day menu.

Soup, crisps and fruit were available. I did overhear the staff saying "we hope to be able to offer a larger selection and get back to normal soon". Feel free to interpret that as you wish.

Thanks!
Sandwiches back 'on the menu' in the GLA lounge as of yesterday (same selection - and also supplier I guess- as pre-Covid).

This is good news. Hopefully they extend the Breakfast selection back to normal and roll it out to the other Scottish lounges at EDI and ABZ.

SFO lounge menu is now live via https://sfo.loungemenu.cloud/ I'd be happy with those choices.

Now limited to 2 drink vouchers each, but Wi-Fi has improved.
Lounge is small and the route is busy so it can reach capacity.

A friend did ZRH-LHR and mentioned there is still no lounge, and pretty much nothing was open in the E gates after 17.00 or so. OTOH, he had a 787 in CE.

Any thoughts on when they might open? flying out of BOS on 7 Sep and would love to have time in the lounge beforehand to get more sleep on the flight
