Just saw this today: a new arrivals lounge in LHR T2, which you can access via Priority Pass (i.e. with Amex Platinum). Even if you arrive into T3, for example of a VS flight, you can walk over to T2 and use it.

If you're taking the tube/train/bus, you have to go that way anyway. I might try it out instead of using Revivals next time.

It's not entirely clear whether PP/Lounge Club members are entitled to a free shower or whether they have to pay £15.

Even so, a welcome addition - the Plaza Premium lounge in T2 departures is excellent. I note they're also talking about opening in T3 & T5 which, for those without VS or BA lounge access, is very good news.

I used the Plaza Premium when in T2 last week. Apart from the unpreposessingly pale chicken sausages, it seemed pretty good.

That's an interesting question. I wonder if VS will stop DL BE access to Revivals, now that DL has its own lounge?

And I wonder if VS Au have a choice of both if arriving on DL metal in BE?

Wonder if there is reciprocal VS access? 2pm closing would be just enough time for the SFO winter flight arrival times :D


Great news Ryan, thanks.
I'm flying DL BE into LHR on Jan 04th so will try it out y)

I'm sure this is the old Air Canada Maple Leaf arrivals lounge. Which had PP access (and showers, and a shirt ironing service!)

I had a quick look at the Plaza Premium T2 arrivals lounge yesterday. A bit disappointing to be honest - I didn't see the showers/spa area but the seating area is very small and the food offer extremely limited (one hot snack plate with meat and one without plus fruit, crisps, cakes etc, although I didn't see the breakfast offer).

So I'd say if you've got a Priority Pass and you're arriving at T2, you might want to consider a quick stop (though remember you'll have to pay £15 for a shower). But without a PP IMHO it's not worth paying £25 for entry, and I don't think it's worth the schlep over from the other terminals.
