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.

That's good. Nice to have an option to pop back to when the "Boarding Now" turns out to be a lie and you're at that end of the terminal. Or when your A319 goes tech on an inaugural.

Can't post link but doesn't look like it (assume you mean Belfast City): see "Belfast City Airport - Lounges | At The Airport | Belfast City Airport" belfastcityairport.com/At-The-Airport/Lounges

I had a very pleasant afternoon at T5 today including a couple of hours at Galleries North. It was very nice to be back in there with the fantastic runway views, especially as this was the single active runway today. The lounge was surprisingly busy between 12 and 1pm - almost like normal times - but note that about half of it, from the ticket desk beyond, is closed off. The terrace is open and was not too warm despite the scorching weather outside. After 1pm the lounge got quieter and it closed from 2. Food/drink service was the same as at South, except that given the closing time there is no switch to the lunch/rest of day menu - rather from 12 the same breakfast options are simply called brunch, plus soup also becomes available. I've posted the breakfast menu below.

I also got to say farewell to one of the A380s - GXLE-J - as it headed off to Chateauroux.

Also posting a few of the food items from GF this afternoon.. The harissa chicken (first pic) I think is new - it was good. The salmon fishcake and the prawn/ham hock salad were there last week too.

Is it possible to make modifications (I'm thinking deletions rather than replacements) to any of the food in any of the T5 lounges? Some say I am picky, but I think of myself of having a more refined palate.

We now have bellowing announcements in GF welcoming people back, advising that there won’t be boarding calls, satellite gates are 15 mins away and to wear a mask when moving around the lounge

At CCT level, during quiet times, you may be able to persuade one of the serving team to go to the cook station for you to arrange your selection, but I wouldn't count on that.

There will be customers on other airlines who won't be familiar with T5 and the fact that there are no boarding calls in the lounges.

If it's the same same setup I've seen previously, you need to sign up and leave a credit card (the chargers are unlocked via an app). You're encouraged to take them away if you need to - but you get charged.
