British Airways new lounge at Newark

Travellers to and from London on British Airways at Newark Liberty International Airport New York are to benefit from a new Galleries lounge which has just opened.  Newark is New York’s second international airport with 33m passengers as against JFK with 47m.  Situated in New Jersey but just as easy to get to from most of Manhattan, and is operated by the same quasi government authority.  It is the main New York home for United Airlines and benefits from a direct train service to the airport transit system from Penn Station.

British Airways has three daily services to Heathrow in the height of the summer, whilst United has five (and there are two provided by Virgin Atlantic).  United also serves most of the major UK regional airports.

The new lounge in Newark provides comfortable seating for 177 customers, offering First guests private dining booths and Club World customers self-serve pre-flight dining.  Work and Entertainment Zones offer computers and power outlets throughout the lounge, with TVs, a choice of newspapers, magazines and complimentary wi-fi.  There are two bars and a deli.  Showers are provided.  The lounge, with its panoramic views of the apron, has been relocated close to British Airways boarding gates. www.ba.com
