British Airways First Class Lounge

This is could have been best lounge I’ve lounged in. The dedicated wine, champagne, and liquor bars were heaven! The food buffet was pretty good and the cheese selection was very good.
The downfall of this lounge is its size and quantity of people in it. Dirty dishes, worn out couches, and loud espresso machines made what could have been an a outstanding experience only good.
The lounge is so big that you could go to the hot food buffet, return to your seat, and your food has already become cold.
I appreciate getting out of the terminal hustle and bustle, but the lounge and its operations require some fixes to make it outstanding.

Ob man nun einen First Class Flug benötigt oder nicht, es ist einfach sehr angenehm und vorallem die Aufenthalte in den Lounges.
Ich habe meine Zwischenlandung und den Weiterflug in die USA mit einem wirklich sehr schönen Aufenthalt in der First Class Lounge im Terminal 5 der BA versüßt.
Innen ist alles sehr mit Detail ausgestattet. Von den Sanitäranlagen bis hin zur W-​Lan Ecke. Man kann A La Carte bestellen oder sich am Buffet bedienen. Getränke sind ebenfalls alle beinhaltet. Es gibt nichts was es nicht gibt.
Sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Mitarbeiter. Einige Gäste sind dagegen sehr arrogant. Aber so ist das wohl wenn man VIP ist. Ich gehöre zum ordinären Fußvolk und gönne mir sowas ab und an :-). Auf alle Fälle TIP TOP. Empfehlenswert!

I’ve been to a lot of airline lounges, in many countries. From USA, Delta, Singapore, Hong Kong, Narita and this one in London Heathrow is the best.
Its huge, well furnished and very quiet. Depending on the time, you can alwyas count one a light meal. I was there for brunch, and they served this vege-​curry thta was awesome. The drinks are self serve. You can grab a beer or hit the hard stuff. They even serve Cognac. Complimentary of course.
I am not sure, but I think there is even a shower in the back…
If you have a few hours to burn while in Heathrow. this is the place to be.

I love this place at LHR T3! If you can get access to the lounge this place is a haven away from all the crowds at T3. Also most of the time it is really quiet — I’ve counted between 5 and 15 people in the lounge every time I was in there.
I LOVE the Champagne Bar — usually Bollinger Rose and Taittinger as well as a monthly special selection. There also is a buffet (small-​ish) but then again there is full waiter service. The Curry was amazing — so was my wife’s ceasar salad. And you can’t beat a ham sandwich in the morning.

I have enjoyed many First Class Airline Lounges in my days of being a Road Warrior, my experience here was nice, the staff was friendly and helpful. I enjoy flying British Airways for many reasons, there lounges are always nice, but the staff is among the best in the industry. The food selection knocked it down from a 5 Start to a 4 — other than that a very enjoyable, clean place to relax before your flight.

Marc D & I must have been in different lounges! This was by far the plushest & amenity stuffed airport lounge I have been in. Our family took a BA first class red eye from SFO to Heathrow. Not only was our flight fantastic, but this lounge was stocked with everything we needed to continue our journey.
We were greeted in a beautiful, vast area overflowing with comfie sitting areas. We immediately signed up for free massages (yup, FREE MASSAGES) & used the cabanas.
Cabanas are personal bathrooms with shower, toilet & changing area. Nothing plush, but just what you need after a long flight to feel fresh. They supply you with toothbrush & everything else you need to feel fresh.
We ate at the restaurant (again complimentary). Everything we ordered was available & came promptly. Free wifi topped off the perfection of waiting 3 hours for a connecting flight to Paris. All in all — TOTAL THUMBS UP! Nice job BA.

This is one of the more disappointing first class lounges I have seen in a major airport, and I was stuck here for 10 hours due to the wonders of Heathrow gate delays, terminal transfers, multiple security check points, etc.
The food selection was actually better on the flight than in the lounge. That is not a good sign.
There was a menu of items to choose from in the lounge, but almost none of them were available. Hello? Haven’t you heard of under promise and over deliver? This was over promise and we don’t deliver!
The one good thing is that you can go to the business class Terraces lounge and get a massage from the Elemis Travel spa — as long as you have at least 3 or 4 hours to wait through the waitlist! (Which I did on this one trip — normally it is just breezing through with a normal connection and no chance in hell of getting up on the wait list!)
So the monotony of my 10 hour layover experience was broken up by a short massage, several walks around the terminal, and a shortbread cookie.
Come on, BA, you could do better than this considering the price of your first class tickets!
