BA's oneworld lounge at Dulles — Concourse B, with a hot buffet and a full-service restaurant offering.

About this lounge

The British Airways Lounge at Washington Dulles is BA's home on Concourse B, airside and opposite Gate B50, close to the newsagent. It welcomes British Airways premium-cabin passengers and eligible oneworld Sapphire and Emerald status holders flying a oneworld carrier out of Dulles. The food offering is a notch above the typical contract lounge: alongside a hot and cold buffet there's a complimentary full-service restaurant element, plus a full bar, complimentary Wi-Fi, shower facilities and a business area. Hours are built around BA's transatlantic schedule, opening in the afternoon ahead of the evening departures to London. If you're flying BA or another oneworld airline in a premium cabin or with status, this is the most consistent branded experience at the airport.
