Emirates opens dedicated Heathrow lounge
Emirates has opened a dedicated lounge at Heathrow for first and business class passengers.
Located in Terminal 3 in the recently-opened Pier 6 departures area, the 9,500 sq ft facility is part of a $13 million global investment in airport lounges by the airline.
The lounge has seating for 190 passengers and includes a business centre with 10 computer workstations and four laptop workstations each with free broadband and wireless LAN access.
UK & Ireland vice-president Vic Sheppard said: “Following the addition of a fifth daily flight last year, demand for our services from London Heathrow continues to grow with over 10,000 passengers travelling with us from the airport each week.
“The new lounge will form an integral part of the travel experience we provide our first and business class passengers, as we constantly seek to enhance our services, both in the air and on the ground.”
