London Heathrow Airport

Terminal 5A (Gates 1-23)

British Airways Galleries First Lounge (Terminal 5 South)

One of the best

The best part of this lounge is the private airport security entrance, called The First Wing. Otherwise, this doesn't rise to international first-class standards and is really just a nice business-class lounge. But, the First Wing security experience earns it Three Planes.

Pro tips

  • The First Wing has its own security at Zone J

    If you have First Wing access and are starting your journey at Heathrow Terminal 5, head to Zone J. The dedicated check-in and security route can save time even if you are not stopping in the lounge.
