Frequently asked questions

Can I pay to use one of British Airways’ airport lounges in the terminal I’m flying from?

Last updated: 6 August, 2024

We try to ensure our Galleries Lounges are as relaxing as possible while accommodating a large number of customers. To do that, we limit access to customers travelling in our First, Club World or Club Europe cabins and Gold or Silver British Airways Club Members – or the equivalent with our partner airlines – plus any of their eligible guests.

This means we're unable to extend invitations to our lounges if you have Diners Club or Priority Pass cards, or if you're not travelling in First, Club World or Club Europe. We're also not able to offer a 'pay to enter' option to any British Airways-owned lounges, with either card payment or Avios.

You can also buy a Lounge Pass™ to enjoy access to airport lounges across the globe, no matter which airline you're flying with or cabin you're travelling in.
