When to Use This Lounge

Galleries First is BA's first class lounge in the main T5 building, a clear step up from the Galleries Club for oneworld Emerald members and BA first class passengers. It offers à la carte dining, a full bar, a spa, shower suites, and Forty Winks sleep pods for a proper rest before a long-haul flight, and the atmosphere is quieter and more attentive than the busy business lounge next door. For an international first class departure from a main-building gate it is the right choice; for the most exclusive experience of all, BA first class passengers can go further into the Concorde Room. The same satellite caveat applies: if your gate is in T5B or T5C, leave time for the transit train.
