  Is there a BA lounge at Gibraltar airport as flying back from there soon?

  • Anna says:

    Yes, it’s quite pleasant. Not a huge amount in the way of food and drink but there’s a lovely balcony area where you can sit outside if it’s fine (it was warm enough the February we were there) with stunning views over the runway to the rock.

  Unfortunately, BA have stopped the seasonal route to Montpellier as of this summer.

  We are flying to KEF and return in April and I have read somewhere that you are given vouchers in lieu of the lounge – is this correct? Also we are flying CE from T5 for the first time with a party of 7 with 3 young children (sorry!) – any tips please? Thanks!

    Unless your travel dates avoid the Easter school hols there will be loads of children so don’t worry about yours. On the downside, this will mean the lounges are extremely busy. There doesn’t seem to be much difference between North and South these days. Depending on the ages of the children the free wifi is good, and they can be entertained by sending them to get crisps and mini cans out of the fridges. There’s not much to do in the so-called “children’s areas” though, so don’t rely on them for entertainment. You should have your seats allocated about 3 days before the flight as you’re travelling with children, so at that point you can go onto BA.com and change the seats if you find something better. The trays on the blocked out middle seats are great for putting toys and snacks on. I assume you can also order kids’ meals, but these can be decidedly ropy, so if they are fussy eaters bring a coolbag of sandwiches etc for them. And make the most of that luggage allowance, you don’t want to spend your holiday trying to track down bits and pieces in the local shops!

    There is a lounge but Icelandair control it and other airlines can’t get in. Not sure about vouchers though.

    Stick the kids in the Galleries Club playroom and shut the door, they’ll be fine 🙂

    No vouchers for us when coming back from KEF as Silver in Club Europe last June

      Ditto – I checked/asked and no lounge or vouchers

  • Trickster says:

    No, I don’t think you get vouchers. Or at least we didn’t in November 2016. Would be good though if they did given the prices.

  Whatv about long haul? I thought NBO/Nairobi was BA Loungeless (QR passengers only allowed in)??

  Happy to be proved wrong!

    Thanks for the replies!

  I think I’m on the world’s worst value Club Europe flight in August:

  London City to Florence (return)

  No lounge at either airport.
  2-2 config / no blocked middle seat.

  BA Gold definitely get into the Aer Lingus T2 lounge. No guests though and not sure about Silver.

  • Trent says:

    Silver also have access in the Aer Lingus T2 lounge when flying to Dublin and vice versa in Dublin when flying to LHR. No guest is correct.

  BOD lounge is laughable, worth a search for reviews.

  They give you a €10 voucher for food and drink at the cafe which, being French, was very good.

  Good news on Innsbruck. Flew back out of there early January – no lounge access as BA hadn’t signed the deal at (and INN airport is pretty minimalist).
  In and out of INN week after next so looking forward to lounge for return flight.
