Plaza Premium Lounge Heathrow Terminal 4 – All You Need to Know

Last updated on February 24th, 2026 at 07:38 pm

If you’re flying from Heathrow and want somewhere quieter and more comfortable than the main departure lounge, the Plaza Premium Lounge Heathrow Terminal 4 is the larger of the two lounges available.

I’ve used this lounge myself and in this review I’ll show you exactly what to expect, how to access it, what the food and facilities are like, and whether it’s good value for money.

I visited using my Priority Pass membership.

Where Is the Plaza Premium Lounge & How Do You Access It?

Location

The Plaza Premium Lounge is located airside in Heathrow Terminal 4, on the upper level near Gates 10A and 10B.

Once you’ve passed security and turn right.

When you get to the Heathrow Click and Collect look for a corridor which will take you down to the lounge.

How To Buy Access to the Plaza Premium Lounge Terminal 4

Book Direct	Book 3rd Party	Priority Pass
£44.12 for 2 hours £59.22 for 5 hours £81 for 6 hours	£38 for 3 hours refundable pass with LoungePair £40.85 with my Holidayextras Discount for 3 hours	£20.60 with Priority Pass Standard Plus (10 included visits)

If you’re deciding how to enter, here’s the simple takeaway: Priority Pass is usually the best value if you’ll use lounges more than once or twice per year, while third-party passes can work well for one-off trips.

The Plaza Premium Lounge is a paid entry lounge. This means you can access it whatever airline you are flying with and whatever type of class you are flying.

You can either;

• Buy access directly on the Plaza Premium Site – £44.12 per adult for a 3 hour stay
• Buy access through a third party site such as LoungePair – £38 for a 3 hour stay and refundable if you can’t use your pass (entry not guaranteed)
• Buy access through via my discount code at Holidayextras – £40.85 for 3 hours guaranteed entry
• Access via an airport lounges membership scheme such as Priority Pass. The cost to enter depends on your membership level.

Using Priority Pass In This Lounge

This lounge accepts Priority Pass, which is usually the best value way to get access. My entry to this lounge cost me £20.60 as I used one of my included 10 visits with Standard Plus Membership.

You can’t prebook the Plaza Premium Lounge with Priority Pass. I think that’s because there will always be 1 lounge available in Terminal 4 to Priority Pass members, they just vary access depending on how busy they are with other customers.

Inside the Lounge – My Experience

The Plaza Premium Lounge at T4 is a large lounge with a relaxed, modern design and a mix of seating styles.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Armchairs and sofa seating
• Dining tables
• Work-style one person cubicles (with small tables only suitable for tablets or phones)
• A family area
• Large windows overlooking the apron
• Showers
• Meditation/prayer rooms

The lounge is generally clean and well maintained, with staff regularly clearing tables and restocking food.

At quieter times, it’s a pleasant place to relax.

I visited when the lounge was around 75% full, so this review reflects what it’s like in real-world conditions rather than a quiet off-peak snapshot.

Food & Drinks – What’s Included?

Drinks

Priority Pass guests have access to:

• Soft drinks
• Coffee and tea
• Beer and wine

The drinks are on the buffet to help yourself to. This meant the selection was a bit limited compared to lounges with a fully tended bar service.

Cold Buffet

On my visit the cold options included;

• Coronation chicken sandwiches on white bread
• Jelly pots
• Cheese and crackers
• Small cake bites and mini muffins

Hot Food

When I visited the hot dishes were;

• Pasta dish
• Meat stew type dish

I felt the food selection was a bit limited given the size of the lounge.
