Next week I will be running a full review of the Plaza Premium lounge in the new Terminal 2 at Heathrow. I was lucky enough to be given a private tour last week.
I was told at the time that they were in negotiations with Priority Pass which were due to be completed very soon.
I saw yesterday that Plaza Premium is now showing on the Priority Pass website. More impressively, for American Express Preferred Rewards Gold cardholders, it is showing on the Lounge Club website as well. Amex Gold cardholders get free entry to 2 Lounge Club lounges per year.
This is particularly valuable, as the other Priority Pass option – United Club, out in the 2B satellite, is NOT a Lounge Club member.
While you wait for my review, there are some photos of Plaza Premium in this HfP article. It is particularly convenient for Virgin Little Red and Aer Lingus customers without lounge access as those flights should almost always depart from the main building.
For one off visits, you can buy passes in advance via the Plaza Premium website.
