Heathrow Lounges Refurbishment
BA plans to fully refurbish its Heathrow lounge complex.
This should 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 give any timescale for these works, nor what contingency measures will be in place to deal with the significant reduction in lounge capacity.

Oneworld has opened a small number of alliance branded lounges at airports around the world, including the place of the former BA lounge at Amsterdam Schiphol. There has been no news for some time any more forthcoming lounges.
