Priority Pass adds a spa experience at Heathrow Terminal 5
Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission. See here for all partner links.
The first Priority Pass ‘spa experience’ at Heathrow has appeared – and it’s in the British Airways terminal, Terminal 5.
The snag is that you CANNOT access this with a Priority Pass issued by American Express.
You CAN access it with a Priority Pass issued by any other financial institution, or one you have bought directly. LoungeKey, issued with HSBC World Elite credit cards, is also OK.
What can you get?
The experience is at the Be Relax Spa. There are two of these – one by Gate A8 in the main Terminal 5 (this is a pop-up with no privacy) and one by Gate B35 in the first satellite, pictured above.
Swipe your non-Amex Priority Pass or LoungeKey card and you will receive your choice of:
- Be Back 15-minute Massage
- Be Back 30-minute Massage
- Polish Change plus Hand Massage
- Be Feet on lounger 10-minute
The spa is open from 8am to 5pm Monday to Thursday and 8am to 7pm Friday to Sunday. You cannot pre-book treatments.
You can find out more on the Priority Pass website here.
PS. Remember that there is also a restaurant option for non-Amex issued Priority Pass and LoungeKey cards in Terminal 5 now. See this HfP article.
