BA reveals new lounges

British Airways has unveiled its new lounges at Miami and Dubai international airports, coinciding with its announcement that it will initiate a full-scale redevelopment of its Heathrow lounges next year.

Miami lounge

The new lounge at Miami International spans 1 208 square metres, making it the largest BA-operated lounge outside London. Located in Terminal E, the lounge features large windows overlooking the airfield.

The layout includes five zones – the central bar area, a general dining space or the Concorde Dining Room for first-class passengers, focus pods and a lowered central lounge with partitions. The lounge also features two shower suites and washrooms.

The bar serves a selection of classic cocktails and mocktails and a large range of spirits and beers, including local ale.

Dubai lounge

Located in Terminal 1, the new lounge has a blend of British and Middle Eastern décor.

It features a dedicated self-serve dining area with a range of options, including an Arabic breakfast, mezze selection, cakes, and cheeseboard.

The lounge will offer premium champagnes, sparkling wines, cocktails, and freshly-squeezed juices. Additionally, the lounge will offer coffee from UAE-founded coffee brand, Coffee Planet, and a selection of teas from Birchall.

Heathrow lounges

According to One Mile at a Time, the airline confirmed that it would go ahead with its plans to overhaul its lounges across London Heathrow Terminals 3 and 5 next year.

The lounges were originally meant to be refurbished in 2020, however the pandemic caused the project to be put on hold.
