Lounge at LHR - Open?

Covid - Is the lounge for OW Sapphire members open at LHR at the moment for QR flights?

QR is using LHR T5 at the moment so you'll have access to the BA galleries club as a OW Sapphire member.

Thank you - I should probably follow up on this and ask if anyone knows whether pax starting from the UK and transiting thru DOH onwards to MEL, can use the lounge at DOH?

As a OWS you're allowed to use the Business Class (Status) Lounge which is just to the side of Harrods Tea Room.

QR doesn't use the Plaza Premium lounge at LHR T5?

Now that all red list flights arrive into T4. Is it the same for departing flights and by extension, is the T4 lounge open?

Nope, T4 is only an arrival facility. QR is still using T5.

I flew from Heathrow on 10 June, so there maybe updates in terms of lounge access, especially in Doha.

For Heathrow, they offered Aspire Lounge near gate A18 in T5 for frequent flyer members that are silver or above. Alternatively, BA Galleries are offered for members that are gold above (Sapphire). The Aspire Lounge is actually a surprise for me as a silver member, QR didn't state that in the lounge page on their website.

In Doha, silver member or above are most likely to be directed to Al Mourjan Lounge as usual. For Business Class Lounge (Used to be the status lounge), I believe it's for paid access. Both lounges are packed in my observation.

The Business Class Lounge at HIA is currently used for accommodating IRROPS passengers. Nice to see that QR silvers still have lounge access.
