Priority Pass is accepted at ten lounges across Heathrow's four terminals, including No.1 Lounge and Plaza Premium at Terminal 2, three lounges at Terminal 3, Club Aspire and Plaza Premium at Terminal 5, and Blush Lounge and Plaza Premium at Terminal 4. Several require pre-booking, and at least one Terminal 3 lounge (Clubrooms) charges an additional fee even with membership. Checked 2026.
Which Heathrow lounges accept Priority Pass?
This is distinct from simply paying for lounge access on the day, since Priority Pass membership gives entry (often with a visit allowance or a per-visit member fee) at a specific network of participating lounges, and not every lounge at Heathrow is part of that network. As of the current listing, participating lounges by terminal are as follows.
Terminal 2
- No.1 Lounge (05:00-21:00, pre-booking available)
- Plaza Premium Lounge (05:00-21:30)
Terminal 3
- No1 Lounge Heathrow (05:00-22:00, pre-booking available)
- My Lounge (05:00-22:00, pre-booking available)
- Clubrooms Heathrow (05:00-21:00, pre-booking available, additional fee applies even with Priority Pass)
- Plaza Premium Lounge (06:00-14:00, limited hours)
Terminal 4
- Blush Lounge by Plaza Premium Group (07:00-10:30, limited morning hours)
- Plaza Premium Lounge (05:00-22:00)
Terminal 5
- Club Aspire Lounge (05:00-21:00, pre-booking available)
- Plaza Premium Lounge (05:30-21:30)

Why pre-booking matters
Several of these lounges, including No.1 Lounge at Terminal 2, No1 Lounge and My Lounge at Terminal 3, Clubrooms at Terminal 3, and Club Aspire at Terminal 5, allow or require pre-booking. Priority Pass lounges can refuse entry at busy times if capacity is full, particularly during peak morning and early evening departure banks, so pre-booking through the Priority Pass app where it is offered removes that risk. Lounges without pre-booking, such as the Terminal 4 options, operate on a first-come basis.
Watch for lounges with an additional fee
Clubrooms Heathrow at Terminal 3 is listed as charging an additional fee on top of standard Priority Pass membership, which is worth knowing before you plan your visit, since not every participating lounge is included at no extra cost simply by showing your membership card. Always check the current fee status for your specific membership tier before travelling, since Priority Pass terms can change lounge by lounge.
Limited opening hours to watch for
Not every lounge runs full-day hours. Plaza Premium Lounge at Terminal 3 currently operates a short window, 06:00 to 14:00, and Blush Lounge at Terminal 4 runs an even shorter morning slot, 07:00 to 10:30, so both are only useful for early departures rather than afternoon or evening flights. If your flight is later in the day, check which terminal 3 or 4 lounges are actually open before you plan on Priority Pass access as your lounge option.
Passengers connecting between terminals should also check how long that transfer takes before allowing time for a lounge visit; see our guide to transferring between Heathrow terminals.
Priority Pass vs paying per visit
If you do not hold Priority Pass membership, most of these lounges (and others not on the Priority Pass network) can usually still be booked and paid for directly on a pay-per-visit basis, which is covered in our separate guide to the best-value pay-per-visit lounges at Heathrow by terminal. That guide is the one to check if you are comparing direct lounge pricing rather than membership access.
