Last chance to win £560 of Heathrow lounge access and spa treatments with Plaza Premium

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Just a quick heads up that midnight UK time tonight (Friday) is your last chance to enter our Plaza Premium competition. Entries date-stamped after this time will not be counted.

We have £560 of prizes to be won.  We have SEVEN packages to give away, each comprising of entry to the Plaza Premium lounge (worth £35) PLUS a 30-minute ila signature massage (worth £45) in their impressive spa.

The prize will be valid from 1 December until 30 May 2015. If you think you will be using Terminal 2 at any point during that period, you should enter.

Plaza Premium Lounge is also opening an arrivals lounge in Terminal 2 in December and will open an airside lounge in Heathrow Terminal 4 in early 2015. The prize can also be used in these two lounges when they open, so regular Terminal 4 users should also enter.

It is worth entering even if you have a Priority Pass, Airport Angel or Lounge Club card as our prize package includes a 30-minute massage.

Plaza Premium Heathrow 2

About Plaza Premium

Heathrow Terminal 2 is the first European destination for Plaza Premium Lounge Management Limited, an established operator of luxury airport lounges in Asia, India, the Middle East and Canada. You can see their website here.

As the company itself says:

Sleek, contemporary and accessible to all, the Plaza Premium Lounge offers travellers five luxury shower rooms, five private resting suites, a wellness spa area with an exclusive treatment menu by British organic spa brand ila, a tapas and champagne bar, and a selection of food and drinks.

I reviewed the lounge on Head for Points in September and was impressed by what I found.

You will find the lounge in the main Terminal 2 building, not the B satellite. The opening hours are 5am to 11pm.

You can get access via Priority Pass, Lounge Club, Airport Angel or a number of (mainly Asian) bank cards. Alternatively, you can pay starting at £35 for two hours lounge access including VAT.  Access can be pre-booked via their website.

Even if you already have access via one of the methods above, it is still worth entering our competition – you will also receive a free 30-minute massage worth £45.

How can you enter?

All you need to do to enter is to visit our original article on the competition from Monday and leave a comment at the bottom.

Please read the rules first before entering.  You must be a UK resident.

You must enter by midnight tonight and I hope to announce the winners early next week.

Good luck.
