We are big fans of Plaza Premium lounges, with your fellow HFP readers voting the Heathrow Terminal 5 lounge ‘Best Independent Airport Lounge’ in the Head for Points 2019 Travel & Loyalty Awards.

PS.  We hear that the HFP award is now on display in the Terminal 5 lounge.  If someone can take a photo and send it across, we’d be grateful.  We already have a picture, see Instagram here, of Club Aspire Gatwick South showing off their ‘Best New Airport Lounge 2019’ trophy.


Getting airport lounge access for free from a credit card

How to get FREE airport lounge access via UK credit cards (April 2024)

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 1,300 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. You can apply here.
