Heathrow Rewards is giving away two one-year passes to ALL of the Plaza Premium lounges in the airport.

Most importantly, because you cannot get access via Lounge Club or Priority Pass, is the new Plaza Premium lounge in Terminal 5.   You will also be able to get into their other facilities – T2 departures, T2 arrivals, T3 arrivals, T4 departures and T4 arrivals.

The winner will get unlimited visits until 31st March 2019.  Unfortunately no guests are allowed.

You can enter via this page of the Heathrow Rewards website (log-in required).  The closing date is the end of March.

PS.  Remember that you CAN access the Terminal 5 Plaza Premium lounge with an American Express Platinum charge card, even though it is not in Priority Pass.  Simply show your card at the entrance.  You can also bring in a guest.

Here are the four options to get FREE airport lounge access via a UK credit card.

The Platinum Card from American Express comes with two free Priority Pass cards, one for you and one for a supplementary cardholder. Each card admits two so a family of four gets in free. You get access to all 1,500 lounges in the Priority Pass network – search it here.

You also get access to Eurostar, Lufthansa and Delta Air Lines lounges.  Our American Express Platinum review is here.
