Why is it so hard to find shower facilities at Heathrow?
In June I’ll be spending 5+ hours at Heathrow having arrived solo at T3 on a Virgin red-eye from NYC before departing T3 on a BA flight to Sofia with friends. Then 5 days later on the return leg we arrive from Sofia late Sunday evening and I fly back to NYC early Monday morning.
I’m flying economy and don’t have status with any loyalty programs but I’m happy to pay for lounge access. As far as I can tell, none of the pay lounges in T3 have showers, but I’d have enough time to go to another terminal if that gave me access to shower facilities at a pay lounge.
On my return I don’t suppose there are any lounges open overnight (and the by-the-hour hotel costs more than my flights) so any recommendations on a comfy spot would be appreciated.
Woken up to a new offer from Hedonism Wines on my Amex. Spend £350 get £50 back. Brings Conti DRC Three Magnum OWC 2009 down from an extortionate £195,000 to a far more reasonable £194,950. I’m in. If anyone else is interested I’d check you Amex offers. At this price they won’t be around for long…
