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.

Does anyone know what the food is like at BOS lounge now? I know it was pretty good before, but not been there since covid. My mother is flying out tomorrow evening in Club World and wants to eat a meal before the flight. It's the lounge or Legal Sea Foods I suppose. Thanks.

Flying out of CDG on Sunday in Club World - can anyone confirm or deny that there is currently no lounge access for BA travellers at CDG? Seems poor form.

Currently in The Lounge at Tirana - Albania.

Like the rest of the Country it's a bit basic , but pizza and cheese and tomato roll going down nicely with a Korca Beer- probably better than I'll get on the Plane.!!

You go up to a little counter and a very pleasant lady serves the eats up - help yourself to drinks.

Mask wearing in Albania including at the Airport seems "optional" just about everywhere - a pleasant change.

I was in FRA this morning and the lounge was open at 8 am when I was there - I'm not sure what the opening hours are, but I think they're different to what the one world website states now.

Was that the JAL Lounge or did BA contract another lounge for their passengers?

Oh yes sorry I should have mentioned - it was the JAL lounge. I'm fairly certain BA have not contracted any lounges in FRA.

Thank you HB7, that’s really helpful. Hopefully my trip to the UK over Christmas won’t end up being cancelled and I’ll be able to see what the JAl lounge is like!

Sorry, know it must've been asked before - but can anyone shed light on the changeover time from Breakfast to RoD menu in the BA GC Lounge? Thanks!

No problems at all. Based on my time there, it is a nice space, however, the food and drink selection was not great at all. If you have priority pass access, my advice is go to the Priority Lounge at FRA T2 - it's at the other end (about 10 min walk from JAL lounge). The food and drinks there are much better.

The JAL Sakura lounge is now open daily from 08:00-20:00. The First Class lounge remains closed. The oneworld website has been updated.

Qantas lounge in Heathrow T3 re-opened today. Not sure on the hours, but certainly open for the Sydney via Darwin flight. Friends on said flight this morning tell me that it's still good

Great news. Wonder if they have the salt and pepper squid on the menu. 😋
