What is the BA Gold guest list?

At 5,000 Tier Points, you are upgraded to the Gold Guest List and can access the Concorde Room at London Heathrow and the Chelsea Lounge at New York JFK whenever you fly. You can also share Gold status with one other person and Silver with two people.



The British Airways Gold Guest List (GGL) is an elite sub-tier of the Executive Club, sitting above standard Gold status and reserved for the airline's most frequent and high-value flyers. To earn it, you must accumulate 5,000 Tier Points in a single year, and to maintain it, you need 3,000 Tier Points annually. The benefits are substantial, including access to the exclusive Concorde Room at London Heathrow regardless of your cabin of travel. GGL members can "gift" one Gold and two Silver cards to friends or family each year and receive "Space Releases," which allow them to force-open Avios reward seats on flights that appear sold out. Additionally, they benefit from a dedicated 24-hour VIP support line that can handle complex rebookings with much greater authority than standard agents. In 2026, GGL remains the "pinnacle" of BA loyalty, offering Group 0 boarding and a truly personalized airport experience that bypasses almost all traditional pain points of international travel.
