LHR · Terminal 4 · airside
T4's third-party workhorse: SkyTeam access, walk-in pass, 24-hour hot food.
Plaza Premium Lounge at T4 Departures is a workhorse third-party option. SkyTeam status passengers (KLM, AF, KE, MU) get reciprocal access; walk-ins pay around £45 for a 3-hour pass when pre-booked. Hot buffet rotates through Western breakfast, Asian noodles or curries, and Western dinner mains. Cold spread of cheese, charcuterie, salads. Bar pours wines, beers, basic spirits. Showers in a separate corridor. Wi-Fi handles video calls. 24-hour operation matters at T4 because flight schedules cluster overnight for Korean Air and AF/KL departures.
