Hey guys, well we are on our way home from the UK, negative COVID tests in hand. Even though I was only flying business, because the airport was so empty, I was treated to first class check in. Check out that boarding pass.
Now the British Airways south lounge at Heathrow Terminal 5 is open, surprisingly. You first go down stairs and follow the signs, then you go up these escalators, the first floor you get to is a first class lounge, so you go up again, past this very big questionable art installation to the business class lounge. There is a cool model of the A380 outside. You can use this lounge if you are flying British Airways Business Class or are a One World Sapphire or Emerald member, you can’t get in with Priority pass or any similar program.
This is a big lounge, with big windows for plane spotting, nice comfy leather chairs, wireless charging pads, I’ve actually never used one of those before, they had these really cool posters of vintage planes on the walls, that really looks like it was the golden age of plane travel, although I would still take the BS club suite over that rickety old thing, and even though it was pretty empty, there was still plenty of booze on offer. The British always keep an ample supply of alcohol on hand.
Some of the facilities are shut right now, like this kids room, don’t those little bikes look sad. And that wasn’t the only change.

The food was pretty decent and it filled me up nicely, so I didn’t have to ask for a second main course on the flight. The cappuccino was also up to my standard, so well done british airways.
THey have screens in the lounge where you can monitor your flight, but they don’t announce boarding, so pay attention. Also if you are leaving from the B or C gates, you will have to take a little train, so make sure to leave the lounge 20 mins before your boarding time, or as soon as your gate is announced, whichever is later.
And then you are ready to sit back and enjoy your club suite, and get some much needed rest!
Thanks for watching guys and we will see you in the next video.

Firsssst!
Here comes the sheep commenters telling you, you’re irresponsible for living your life (kinda like what politicians are doing).
Great content my man!!
Always wanted to see it! Too poor to afford it.
Great video Ben ! I got to try this lounge back in September as a newly minted BA Silver member and I gotta say I too really enjoyed the table service via the QR Code. Very well done and I hope it stays post-COVID
Hey have you ever been in the first class lounge?
郝毅博现在这个时期录视频还不戴口罩,还做英航的飞机?是不是有点过于勇敢了……
This kinda makes me want to try business class, I'm just a frugal bloke
You should do a 24h in a modern Art museum video, I think it would be hilarious!😂
Beautiful! But that questionable art…
Table service is always a plus!
Have a safe journey back!
fancy content surrounds youuu
Thanks for the awesome content, love the videos. I just wanted to share that I paid off my phones with the chase freedom, 1500ish and received 5x points on that. I have Tmobile if it matters. Easiest time I've had maxing this quarter. Cheers!
I love questionable art!
You use Parler? You must be unhappy with the mass censorship of Big Tech. It's nice that you value your freedoms.
Question Sir Shifu, Can I gain access with an AAdvantage Executive World Elite or AMEX Platinum Card? Cheers!
👍🏾
Welcome back to the USA.
The "rickety old thing" had actual beds.
!
love all the videos!!! Was wondering if you already have a step by step video on how to purchase flights or hotels using points including all the different ways of doing so such as either through a cc itself or transferring the points to the company and how to do that as well as a similar video of transferring point btwn cc company’s them self such as chase freedom to the sapphire ultimate rewards. If not would love to see such a video(s)
Thanks in advance
Can you buy a razor with avois? Maybe you should check it out.
Shifu looking a bit thin nowadays
What time does this lounge open? Can’t find any information on it?
British Ben !!! Generation Film ?
Do you have to pay for food in the lounge?
They make you take a long hike on the way to the Lounges as the airport wants you to go past all the shops on the way. All the expensive shops are on the south side as this is where the Premium (and higher spending) passengers tend to be.
