Heathrow Plaza Premium Lounge rules & restrictions
- Who can enter: Plaza Premium departure lounges are intended for eligible departing or transit passengers with a valid same-day boarding pass for the matching terminal. The Terminal 3 Heathrow arrivals lounge is different: it is landside after baggage collection and requires a same-day arrival boarding pass. Airline status or cabin class is not the basis of a prepaid booking, but you must meet the lounge’s ticket terms.
- Stay duration and timing: Most Heathrow Plaza Premium Lounges offer 3- or 6-hour access. Your visit starts when you check in. Always allow time for airport formalities, security, the walk to your gate, and the location’s published closing time.
- Capacity and access controls: Book ahead to secure a prepaid visit plan, particularly during busy travel periods. However, lounge entry may still be managed based on real-time operating capacity and staff direction; do not assume every walk-in request will be accepted.
- Dress code and behaviour: Wear clean, appropriate travel attire and follow staff instructions. Disruptive behaviour, excessive intoxication, or clothing considered offensive can lead to refused entry or service.
- Children and guests: Each traveller should have the correct ticket for their age and booking type. Confirm the product terms for child and infant admission before purchase, and ensure minors remain supervised by an accompanying adult.
- Amenities and location differences: Shower access at selected Heathrow locations may be subject to availability and additional charges. Plaza Premium Lounge locations are terminal-specific; Heathrow’s airside T2, T4, and T5 lounges cannot be used if your flight departs from another terminal.
