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.

Currently sat in the Ljubljana business class lounge, they are accepting BA business class and status passengers. I did have to whip the Gold card out for the receptionist (travelling in economy ).
Pleasantly surprised by the lounge, along with the whole city/country. Lake Bled is also a must.
Lounge has draft beer and even has a terrace with a pretty sad view of two stored A320’s, which I presume will be moving on before it gets too wet/snowy here.

I was at IAD on opening night (Thursday) and it appeared that the room on the first side was open, but I was in Club World and so did not go in. In any event, on the CW side, you find a space and order by QR code from a very limited menu of things (four main courses of which hamburger and veggie burger were two) and they did not seem to have all the beers indicated. But it was nice to eat something before the late flight.

Flew out of Marseilles tonight. OneWorld website said no lounge for BA. Asked at checkin, was told no lounge, no voucher.
Priority Pass website said to get a code landside from the information desk, but the info desk lady said that wasn't required any more and to just show my card at the lounge. Got through security and discovered a sign on the door to the lounge saying it was closed the whole day, though it was non-specific about which day so who knows how long / often it was closed for... No water fountains either, and the terminal was very hot, but the cafe in the non-schengen area did do us a good deal on a pitcher of cold beer!

At BHD (Belfast City), in the Aspire Lounge (which combines the old Aspire and old BA lounges), the buffet was restored a week ago. An excellent breakfast selection (relative to the small lounge): porridge, cereal, hot pancakes, croissants, scones, fruit, yoghurt, cheese, ham, salami, Tayto crisps (many flavours), fruit. Coffee machine, good selection of drinks, and (consistently, over several years) some of the best service anywhere on the BA network.

I visited the T5 arrivals lounge after my flight from DXB this morning. Very pleasant as it was so quiet. Obviously no queues for showers considering how many they have in that lounge. Showers are booked through the yourmenu site as it food and drink. Offerings were very similar to the F lounge. The Concorde Breakfast room is still closed for service however the staff were allowing people to sit in there if they wanted.
Sorry to veer a little here, but this seems unreasonable.

I’m lost on who qualifies to go to the First side at IAD… is it still just F, or does it include some of status holders in any cabin too?

I’m curious if that will change with the new GGL/CCR rules + reduction of F capacity. Whereas a full F cabin + a few GGLs could overwhelm the IAD dining room for example in the past, that’s unlikely with a cabin of 8 unless there are an above-normal number of GGLs. For a GGL flying in J out of IAD for example, once the UA Polaris lounge opens, that will offer a better experience than J pre-flight dining on BA. But access to F dining would skew that the other way.

BHD is now back to self service rather than order from the QR code at your seat.
Also looks like it is being knocked through and expanded in to the old aspire lounge.

It will be interesting to follow the progress of this. The decor in the lounges as individual spaces are very contrasting, presumably it will be unified in some way and perhaps the previously reported ‘BA only’ space will appear.

You also need to weigh up the fact that by offering access to GGLs in J, you are potentially encouraging them to downgrade to J too and they probably make up a chunky share of F passengers on TATL flights. A huge chunk of the reason I pay for F on an overnight TATL flight back to the U.K. is to access decent dining and some peace and quiet before the flight at IAD/ORD etc. If I could access that in J I might just book J in future since I don’t really need much more than a comfortable bed on the flight which Club Suites now seems to largely provide. I assume I’m not the only one that thinks like that and BA will be keenly aware of the risk of revenue cannibalisation too. Generally with these rules, you can almost always construct a ‘but what about this passenger?’ scenario that cuts both ways.

Hi,
After having breakfast in the HGI , I had about an hour in GF prior to boarding my flight to Berlin so decided to try the pancakes in case the CE breakfast was not filling ( croissant, plain yoghurt and a small fruit bowl - I miss the Full english ) plus likely not getting to the hotel prior to 2pm
American pancakes with maple syrup, apple juice and Bucks Fizz
Pancakes were a little small but fresh and tasty .
Regards
TBS
