Does Heathrow Terminal 3 have a lounge?

The No1 Lounge at Heathrow Terminal 3 offers guests a place of sanctuary, in a stylish setting away from the airport crowds.



Yes, Heathrow Terminal 3 is famous for having some of the best and most numerous lounges in the world, catering to both elite frequent flyers and those willing to pay for access. For those without high-tier airline status, the No1 Lounge and Club Aspire Lounge offer "pay-per-use" access starting around £40-£50, providing a buffet, bar, and quiet seating area away from the busy terminal. If you have "Oneworld" elite status (such as AA Executive Platinum or BA Gold), you have access to legendary facilities like the Cathay Pacific First Class Lounge (known for its noodle bar) and the Qantas London Lounge (famous for its gin bar). In 2026, Terminal 3 also features a large American Express Centurion Lounge for Platinum and Centurion cardholders. Most of these lounges are located in "Lounge Area F" or "Lounge Area B" after you pass through security. Because T3 serves many long-haul international routes, these lounges are designed for comfort, often featuring showers, private workspaces, and high-quality à la carte dining to help travelers refresh before their journey.
