How to get into lounges at LHR.

A few independents sell a pay-in day pass or take Priority Pass and DragonPass, while most are tied to airline or alliance membership — Star Alliance in Terminal 2, oneworld across Terminals 3 and 5, SkyTeam in Terminal 4, and Emirates. Always check which terminal your lounge is in before you clear security.

- —Our facts sheet doesn't specify a terminal for the Emirates, Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse, Gulf Air, Aer Lingus and United Arrivals lounges, so confirm those before you travel.
Pay-per-visit strategy
- —No1 Heathrow, My Lounge, the Blush and Plaza Premium lounges and Club Aspire let you pay per visit or use a lounge membership rather than needing airline status.
- —Booking a lounge slot online ahead of time is often cheaper than paying at the door and can lock in entry at busy times.

- —Star Alliance Gold reaches the Terminal 2 lounges; oneworld Sapphire or Emerald reaches the Terminal 3 and 5 airline lounges.
