New lounge in London Heathow's terminal 5 - "Aspire, the Lounge and Spa"

Terminal 5 at London Heathrow has long been the only terminal at the airport without a third-party lounge (accessible with payment or various lounge and credit cards). But this will soon change; a new lounge is underway in British Airways’ domestic terminal which will be operated by Swissport in cooperation with Collinson Group. "Aspire, The Lounge and Spa" is the name of the lounge, and it will be located next to gate 18. It is estimated to open in summer 2015. Unlike BA's own lounges, that require a business class ticket or high level bonus cards, this lounge will be accessible to all travellers . Full details of the facilities has not yet been given, but a press release revealed that the lounge will be designed to meet the demand for a place for relaxation, rest and freshening up in the world's leading airport terminal. Aspire Lounges are a relatively a new concept that started in 2012. Today, one finds Aspire Lounges in, among other places, Copenhagen, Helsinki, Amsterdam, and several airports in the UK.
