  Is this going to be airside or landside? I presume airside but I can’t find anything definitive.

    I was discussing this with someone today. It MUST be airside, surely, given BA’s 45 minute ‘conformance’ deadline for getting through security or else having your ticket cancelled!

    There is a big reshuffle of the restaurants in T5 at the moment. If I had to guess, it will be next to the Moneycorp which is next to Galleries North, which is currently some weird restaurant. But that is a 100% guess.

      Appears it will be landside according to the Regus website which says it is in the arrivals area.

        That would be disappointing …

          Yep, arrivals I’m afraid: Regus Express – Unit CA210 – Arrivals Concourse, Terminal 5, Heathrow Airport, Western Perimeter Road, Hounslow, London, TW6 2GA

          I’ve tried finding out what unit CA210 actually is, but that doesn’t seem to be public anywhere.

          It makes sense if you think about the purpose of these lounges – why would you have it in departures, if for example you are flying in to meet with people based in London?

          Because they generally are not used for casual meetings in city centres. I agree, though, that the only DIRECT revenue generation this unit will have is from meeting rooms as it has no offices to hire out. It would be impossible to measure incremental sales of Gold cards to people who just want lounge access.

          Will still be handy for people who want to arrive at LHR early and do some work before going through security.

  Thanks, Raffles. Worked like a charm via the Virgin route. Will come in handy for writing projects.

  I’m surprised at this, considering there is a Regus centre opposite the Thistle already.

  I suspect this will be a very small location also, especially if landslide. May not have all of the facilities.

  Thank you. Preferred membership now allows 10 visits, not the 15 mentioned earlier.

  I did this and it said to use promo code BA at signup. Then I signed up for the benefits from a Amex Plat card and it said I must join and use promo code PLATINUM. Mmmm, hope Amex does their thing and links the account with the stated benefits (which in truth, aren’t much compared to Hertz).

  Although it’s stated that you will get Preferred membership through the RICS route, you actually get Gold! My card arrived in the post this morning 😉

  This post and a free 15 minute block in my day just got me 15 free business lounge visits, two of which can be accompanied. A good return. Thank you.
