Lounge at LHR Terminal 4
Hello
I have seen a few posts about the Skyteam Lounge at Terminal 4, but had two specific questions:
1. Is there are arrivals lounge (arriving on KQ from NBO in J), and wanted a shower on arrival.
2. The departures lounge at T4, does it have showers?
Thanks

LHR Skyteam lounge showers
Showers are pretty good. And you get a nice little gift amenity kit when you take a shower. Check out my blog post about my recent trip there.

Strangely enough, there is not a single power outlet in any of the shower rooms. I wanted to charge my nearly-depleted cell phone while taking a shower last week, but found no oultets - and the spa agent and I looked in just about all of the shower rooms.
I was actually underwhelmed with the shower rooms. Pretty plain, and the shower kit was not that exciting either. I guess I am spoiled by other shower rooms (AF Arrivals lounge, LH F shower rooms, etc).

One can only access the lounge from airside, not arrival.
Most people do not know that there are two floors the the lounge with an elevator toward the back on the right near the food. The lounge's first floor can be a little busy but few go to the second floor.
You will love it.

The food selection is excellent. In the evening, they had enough for dinner. Lamb curry and rice was what i had.

There is an arrival lounge. It's called Yotel. It's available to Skyteam Elite Plus and to Premium Class passengers. A Skyclub membership alone does not give you access to Yotel.

Generally bathrooms in the UK don't have sockets or switches, other than for electric shavers. Notice that lights switches are usually outside the room, or hung from a cord. I think the electrical regulations are less stringent now than they used to be, and allow sockets in bathrooms if they're a sufficient distance from water. But even if they would be allowed to be installed, it's quite possible that it didn't occur to anyone to do so. Certainly most British people wouldn't expect to be able to charge a phone in a shower room.

Are you connecting at LHR or is LHR your destination? It's not clear from your post. I'm not sure that the Yotel is available for all SkyTeam Elite+ on ST flights or if it's just if you're flying DL. Seems you'd need to check with KQ if they provide Yotel access at LHR for their J passengers. If you're only connecting at LHR, just use the SkyTeam T4 lounge.

Yotel at LHR is not a covered benefit for all ST ElitePlus flying on all SkyTeam airlines into or out of LHR on a SkyTeam airline. If wanting to use it, most ST ElitePlus flying into/out of LHR on SkyTeam would have to make their own payment arrangements.
