British Airways’ Club World Lounge at T5 gets make-over

The spruce-up includes over 400 new pieces of furniture in a layout which has been designed to enhance individual seating and privacy for the airline’s premium customers, British Airways said in a press release. Guests can now relax on a range of brand new “contemporary and stylish” furniture - ranging from sleek chairs, occasional tables, new dining furniture and leather sofas - whilst making use of the extra power sockets that have been installed throughout the lounge.

Refurbished - The Club World Galleries South The lounge, which opened in 2008, has also been fitted with new carpets while its oak wooded floors are being re-sanded, waxed and polished. Troy Warfield, British Airways’ director of customer experience, said: “It’s important that our premium customers flying in Club World can start their journey on the ground with the best service and surroundings, to ensure they are relaxed and comfortable even before they board their flight. “We hope our customers will appreciate the new look, extra power points, better furniture and enhanced layout to start their journey in comfort and style.”

Refurbished - The Club World Galleries South The lounge offers a ‘Silver’ bar for drinks, including champagne, whilst a wide range of light meals and snacks - which, apparently, have been specially prepared to maximise customer’s sleep on board - are available as a pre-flight bite to eat. There is also a work and entertainment zone with a 20 seat cinema, and the lounge’s Elemis Spa offers a 15 minute free treatment to guests before their flight.

Refurbished - The Club World Galleries South The Club World Galleries South is the airline’s biggest business lounge and forms part of British Airways’ extensive ‘Galleries’ lounge complex, which comprises six individual lounges for Club and First customers, including the exclusive Concorde Room and the
