Open to British Airways' First and Club World (Business class) customers, as well as Silver and Gold executive card holders, the new premium lounge has been designed to showcase the best of British design and architecture, BA said. It aims maximise space using architectural elements and is finished with black Nero marble surfaces and European oak flooring.
