Plaza Premium has unveiled its new Arrivals Lounge in the landside area of Heathrow Terminal 4.
Regular Head for Points readers will know that I rate Plaza Premium highly. They invest a lot of money into their facilities, especially in design, and they have a genuinely high end feel.
I have reviewed (click to read):
Heathrow Terminal 2 departure lounge
Heathrow Terminal 4 departure lounge
Heathrow Terminal 2 arrivals lounge
…. and liked them all. The Terminal 2 arrivals lounge is pretty small – although it does have shower facilities – but the two departure lounges are very spacious.
There is also a Terminal 5 departure lounge on the way for the end of 2017 which will hopefully be better than the Aspire lounge. A Terminal 3 arrivals lounge is also in the works.
The new Terminal 4 lounge – on the mezzanine level in the arrivals hall – has 25 shower rooms, a lounge and bar area and a new-style dining concept, Flight Club, based around healthy eating.
Capacity is 75 people which means it should be bigger than the Terminal 2 arrivals lounge, albeit only 40% of the size of the upcoming Terminal 5 departure lounge.
It is not yet listed on the Priority Pass (for Amex Platinum cardholders) or Lounge Club (for Amex Gold cardholders) websites. As the Terminal 2 arrivals lounge is part of both schemes, I imagine that it will be added very shortly.
You can book access for cash via the Plaza Premium website here.
