BA mixes things up

British Airways has unveiled enhancements at some of its airport lounges in preparation for a wider rollout of the network.

The carrier reopened its Concorde Rooms at New York’s JFK airport and London Heathrow Terminal 5 this week, marking the moment by announcing a new cocktail menu.

The new offering includes two British Airways themed cocktails, including the Barton, named after the first female British Airways pilot Lynne Barton, and the Lawford, remembering the first ever British Airways pilot in 1919.

Other changes across its lounges include ‘surprise and delight’ lounge access for select Bronze BA executive card holders and the introduction of Forty Winks sleep pods in the Concorde Rooms at JFK & Heathrow.
