Here’s a strange one for you all. Was anyone in the Galleries Club South lounge on the morning of 3 Aug 2023? We were there and sitting close to the children’s area where our kids were playing, when we saw what I thought was a mouse dash into the children’s area, then back out and under the seats we were sitting on. At first I thought it was a jet lagged hallucination (we had arrived on BA16 from Sydney that morning and were in the lounge before connecting to Edinburgh) but my husband confirmed he saw it too. I can’t be sure of the time – maybe around 8 or 9am.
It was the size and colour of a mouse but, if anything, moved even more quickly and smoothly than a mouse (and living in Edinburgh I’m unfortunately very well acquainted with Mickey and his friends). But I can’t believe a mouse would venture out into such a busy and hectic space. I wondered if it could have been a remote controlled toy?
If anyone happened to see it I would be very interested in your thoughts!
It was most likely a mouse, there are some in the T5 lounges (and all around airports generally), usually see them if you’re in the lounge for a late flight
If I told you about the cockroaches at another major EU airport you might think twice about ever eating at an airport again….
Please tell me Sam 😱
Did your mouse move like the one (of many) I spotted in the KLM lounge in Schiphol? Video here – https://twitter.com/kavanaghqtweet/status/1627753958256136192?s=46&t=Zlhqx6Ln5yBi5IqHNGxDdg

Ugh, how horrible. The lounge was really busy though – full of people having breakfast, and it was broad daylight. But it sounds like it was probably just a brazen and very confident mouse.

No – the one in LHR moved in straight lines. And it wasn’t hugging a wall, it just zipped along the middle of the lounge. Not ideal that it was in the kids area where kids are touching the floor etc.
Thanks for the warning about the KLM lounge though…
I recall a very bold mouse in T5 lounge many years ago when I was actually assessing the very same lounge (undercover). I took a photo of it as it sat munching some cracker crumbs on the floor between the tables adjacent to mine. It wasn’t fazed in the least and I couldn’t swear that it wasn’t actually posing for me. I think they are just inevitable wherever there’s a high volume of food debris. In fact, they should probably be on the payroll given the amount of crumbs there would be without their efforts.
It was Schiphol 😱. That whole area has been remodelled now so hopefully that problem has been resolved now…. there were plenty of mice late at night there too . Best not to think about these things too much, my office is full of them too despite a lot of effort to get rid of them

Yeah the mice are everywhere in Schiphol at night. Once you spot one and are on alert, you see them everywhere
