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 the late YYZ-LHR none of the C-lounges were open.

Update: C-lounges: any lounge near the C-gates in YYZ T3.

Is this a BA prime flight or a BA codeshare on a LM flight, or just booked as a LM flight?

Thanks. These are BA marketed and LM operated flights. So in that case I am afraid you don’t get access to the BA lounge.

Does anyone have an idea of what is happening with BA lounges in YVR? The website states there is nothing there (used to be) and that Priority Pass lounge is permanently closed (I don't think it is).

I fly to LHR soon and would like to know if I should pack a lunch.

Sleeper service from JFK

Hi, I've got a flight coming back from JFK in November, originally was the daytime flight BA178 but that's now been cancelled and so I'm being moved on to one of the evening flights. BA website states sleeper service is any flight after 19:30, but before I choose either BA116 or BA182 does anyone know whether the sleeper service food offering is available or if it's going to be better to have a very late lunch/early dinner and get to the airport later.

I'm assuming there's no lounge provision at T5 at ORD at the moment. Looks like BA pax don't have access to the AF lounge, so is it just AC in T3 until BA reopens? Flagship is closed at T3, too.

I like that lounge. Are the fabric rocking horses still there?

Sure are, although no over 50’s were using them at the time! The volcanic tables and rocks are also pretty cool and the fire pit (although wasn’t on), as is the array of liquors next to the many coffee machines! Food a bit meh though :-)

Sleeper Service is no longer a thing - you will receive a full meal on board.

Dinner on board if you want it. There should also be pre-flight dining available for Club passengers in the lounge if you prefer it.

Pre-flight dining is now available to anyone who is entitled to BA lounge access on this flight. So silver and golds can now access pre-flight dining when travelling economy.
