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.

Lounge access in Santiago, Chile

Apologies if this has been answered before, but I couldn’t find any reference in previous posts.

Flying BA club with the family from SCL to LHR and was wondering if we would get lounge access in Santiago?

I’ve checked the oneworld website and it would seem that we wouldn’t be able to access either of the available lounges, since it states that only passengers travelling on Iberia, Qantas or American are allowed entry.

Can anyone confirm?

They haven't yet. We're booked in the first scheduled flight on 12 December after having to change dates 3 times. Chile will be off the red list from next Monday and the UK will also recognise Chile vaccinations.

Hope Springs Eternal.

It was good to meet Tobias and The Lady Tobias again today after a long time, also Filthy Monkey for the first time who I know via chat with LurkerWilf. I occupied 1K for a few hours today at the bar as the resident typically doesn’t fly on a Friday 😉
There was a sense of normality today- families are returning to CCR and there is a passenger:staff interaction like long lost families. 🤞

I'm an Emerald on a OW airline not BAEC. So they won't let me in right?
