Don’t bother pre-booking, focus will be on profit, not fair and appropriate customer service.
We booked a lounge through Holiday Extras at T5, Heathrow, and due to BA cancelling our flight, after check in had begun, we were re-routed via Amsterdam - to Canada. On return from our trip, we visited the lounge in T5, to enquire if we could use the lounge on our return, as we hadn’t used it on the outward journey. The lounge was packed, with a line of customers seeking to get in, yet still taking ad-hoc walk ins. A hand written note said “the coffee machine is not working, sorry for inconvenience’ and as customers exiting said there were “no seats” in the lounge. The attendant, did not entertain our request, and said we booked through a 3rd party and told to go and see them. We said the lounge was a treat for our 40th wedding anniversary, and my wife doesn’t drink, so we would have had little impact on the daily supply situation. Totally uncompromising situation, which I will never use again. No customer oriented attitude or care. We now know we would have got better value by having a 2 hour meal at Gordon Ramseys restaurant. Will never book another lounge through Holiday Extras, or book direct with Plaza Premium, as they too couldn’t be bothered to provide any support, compensation or fair solution.
