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.

A bit disappointing to see BA with no lounge at ZRH. It's a gold-heavy and popular route so it is surprising to see them so stingy. There are many third party lounges but BA cut off their arrangement with Aspire near gates A, while the one near gates E is temporarily closed.
I suppose that BA also stopped issuing vouchers when lounges are temporarily missing? The check-in agent told me that she didn't have any of those to issue. I've sent BA the receipts but they've of course declined to reimburse me. I wouldn't bet on having a legal basis to claiming this, so I was hoping for more of a token of goodwill. Although it's a little bit scummy that you can book a flight, check that there's lounge access on both ends, and that BA just stops their arrangements with third party lounges without warning.
Anyway, I'm rambling. We'll see if I move to M&M in 2022 though

Any bets on my getting 2 guests into Galleries F tomorrow PM (or at least being allowed to cut through F security)?
Did they not previously have some offer for families during the holiday season? Maybe they are being extra kind to GCH at the moment (they certainly have been in-flight, inc an op up on an emptyish flight)??

Slightly OT but how are things in the Canaries currently? I mean how are the restrictions etc impacting life, particularly the tourist experience if you have any information?
Thanks

Another random q. which probably fits as well here as anywhere else. Is it possible to access the F check-in / F lounge from the door nearest to it (i.e. the last door along) on the drop-off zone. Last time I was there, the door was - annoyingly - activating for people exiting, but would not open to allow people to enter.

We’re not there yet, just getting excited. We’re looking forward to our first flight since a long haul in February 2020. Seems ages ago.
