Heathrow Lounge Refurbishment
BA plans to fully refurbish its Heathrow lounge complex from 2026.
This will involve a wholesale gutting and refurbishment of the lounges with a new design concept. Given the complexities of carrying out this project in a working airport terminal, it will take some years to complete.
BA has yet to provide a timetable for these works, nor what contingency measures will be in place to deal with the significant reduction in lounge capacity.
New Lounges & Refurbishments
BA has opened a new lounges at Dubai and Miami based on a new design concept.
Lounges at Gatwick, Seattle, Singapore and Washington Dulles have undergone relatively light touch refurbishments. A “refresh” of the BA lounges in Boston will also be carried out.
