点评:We spent three hours in British Airways' north lounge and an hour at the south lounge at Heathrow while awaiting a flight to Athens. The breakfast and lunch offerings in both were exceptional, but functionality and comfort were lacking.
We've whiled away hundreds of hours in American Airlines' lounges in the states, where chairs provide better support. Many are also equipped with arm tables which accommodate laptops. At British Airways there are no such accommodations. The chairs aren't straight back but, instead, they lean back too far so you become very uncomfortable slouching for long periods.
Another major lack at Heathrow is eletrical outlets. In the states, almost every lounge seat has its own charging station for phones and/or electronics. At Heathrow lounges, among the hundreds of available seats, maybe a dozen or two had accessibility to electricity.
I didn't care for the unisex restrooms either. Nowhere else in the world have I seen men and women sharing the same restrooms at an airport lounge. Makes me wonder if the showers are unisex too.
British Airways doesn't sell day passes for entry into its lounges. They're reserved for first/business class flyers and frequent flliers with executive status.
翻译:我们在希思罗机场候机前往雅典时,先在英航北休息室待了三个小时,又在南休息室待了一个小时。两家休息室的早餐和午餐都非常棒,但功能性和舒适度却差强人意。
在美国,我们曾在美航的休息室里消磨过数百小时,那里的座椅支撑性更好。许多休息室还配备了可以放置笔记本电脑的扶手桌。而英航的休息室却没有这些设施。座椅靠背不是直的,而是向后倾斜得太厉害,长时间坐着会非常不舒服。
希思罗机场休息室的另一个主要不足是电源插座。在美国,几乎每个休息室的座位都配有手机或其他电子设备的充电站。而在希思罗机场的休息室,数百个座位中,可能只有十几个或二十几个有电源插座。
我也不喜欢男女共用的洗手间。在世界其他任何地方,我都没见过机场休息室里男女共用洗手间。这让我不禁好奇,淋浴间是不是男女共用的。
英国航空不出售贵宾休息室的单日通行证。贵宾休息室只对头等舱/商务舱乘客和拥有行政会员资格的常旅客开放。
