Visitor Comments

The first visit of this new lounge was really impressive. You will find up to five areas:

a) the huge chill-out area with different seating areas - from colonial to modern style b) the champagne bar c) the business centre / internet zone d) the washroom / toilet facilities - and last but not least e) the wunderful panorama to the entire southern runway

Furthermore you have up to three screens with the current departure dates and five TV screens (mostly News channels) and a lot of newspapers (but I missed more German titles - I found an edition of the "Sueddeutsche" only - but no "FAZ" or "WELT"...)

I was a little bit disappointed about the offered choice of meals - compared with the former T1- First Class lounge - there is no remarkable difference to the Galleries business lounges - so it should be improved urgently. The choice of champagne is restricted to an adequate premium white and rosé blend.

To my opinion - the best impression is the stunning view to the southern LHR runway. There you can relax in white smooth leather couches with a glass of champagne - but don't miss your flight...
