British Airways’ premium passengers will be able to enjoy 15 minutes of ‘heaven on earth’ in Terminal 5 before they fly.
The airline’s new spa partner Elemis has developed an exclusive range of treatments that will be available in British Airways’ luxury new lounge complex in Terminal 5, which opens next month.
The treatments developed to revive or relax include facials, foot, head, shoulder and back massages and specialist therapies delivered on a state-of-the-art Intelligent Massage Chair.
The facials can be tailored to each individual’s skin type from Flight Rehydrator, to S.O.S. Skin Saver, and Anti-Age Wrinkle Control. Each treatment has been devised to leave skin radiantly rejuvenated.
The Elemis Travel Spas have been designed to create calm, using controlled lighting and natural materials like wood and slate, together with layers of fabric to create depth and privacy around the treatment areas.
The £4.3 billion state of the art terminal opens on March 27, 2008 and BA’s lounges complex, known as ‘Galleries’ is the largest and most luxurious in the world. It is for the exclusive use of up to 2,500 British Airways premium passengers and top tier members of the oneworld alliance’s frequent flyer schemes.
The Galleries feature Swarovski chandeliers and furnishings by Osborne & Little, fabulous Elemis Travel Spas and an arrivals lounge with 94 Hansgrohe shower rooms. There are also private cabanas that can be pre-booked by First class passengers.

Every element of the terminal has been designed to evoke calm and relaxation.
