  Interesting. Any idea where it is going?

    5C 🙂

      Then no one outside the FT bunch would use it…

      There’s no chance it’s going in 5C. It will be in 5A when they close North this year.

        Given how busy Galleries North is I dread to think what South will get like if they’re planning to combine them all there?!

  A T5 arrivals lounge would be great. I usually cant be bothered to schlep over to T2 before going home.

    This would be fantastic, but would imagine it would be totally slammed if it was to open.

      Not necessarily. I regularly use Priority Pass to access the Plaza Premium Arrivals Lounge in T2 and I’ve never seen more than 10 people in there (between 1-3 p.m.). I was thinking of taking some time off from Priority Pass just so that I could try the restaurants in Departures but the value I’ve managed to get in my first year of membership might mean that I just keep it going.

  It’ll probably be around gates 3-4. There’s development work due to start there later this year.

  Sounds like great news. Thanks to HfP I’m doing fine in Avios this year, but thanks to changes at work I currently I have 0 TP this year…

  I do wonder if 200 spaces is enough, as it’s likely to be better than the Galleries Club Lounge…

  Hope it will accept Dragon Pass.
  My bank switched from PP and the DP network has nothing so far airside at T5

    @Pip do you mind if I ask which bank? I’ve been trying to work out what is the best way to access Dragonpass

  About time T5 🙂

  O/T (kinda) – if flying BA business from T3, can I use any lounge other than BAs? The lounge is quite nice (actually writing this from there now), but in my two experience over the last 6 weeks, its been difficult to get a nice seat (unlike T5 which had lots and lots of room) – I’d be interested to check out the other lounges. As an aside, all-in-all, I think a very good lounge experience, and leagues above the BA lounge at Tegel airport where I recently had to sit with my wooly hat on since it was rather cold.

    Yes, I visited the AA and Cathay lounges when I last flew from T3 albeit Cathay is now closed for refurbishment.

  I was well impressed with the Plaza Premium at HKG (the one by gates 40, not the internal one), so much so that chose to fly via HKG so I could use it again!
