You enter by showing the confirmation received by email; booking online in advance is much more advantageous. We used it for a 6-hour layover. In our opinion, the breakfast was poor, but the lunch was more substantial. Tea, coffee, and drinks are constantly available. The seats are comfortable. I definitely recommend it for long wait times.

We had a lovely time during our stay at the Plaza Premium. It was clean and the food was nice. It is nearly impossible to find a seat in the airport, so it was perfect to have a comfy chair waiting for us. The staff were kind and very attentive as well!

The sevice from Headcount was exceptional!!!! No issue on their part However the experience at the Plaza lounge at Heathrow was well below the expected standard A much better experience would have been to eat in one of the airport Restaurants

It was so easy to book. Then when I arrived, all I had to do was show them the ticket on the app and was ushered in. They gave me a seat where I could charge my devices. The food and drinks were convenient and the staff was most helpful.

The lounge was so much easier to access with a reservation and it gave us premium seats as the people that just walk up had to find their own seat. Headout website was easy to use and great about sending our confirmation.

A pleasant break from the main airport. Nice reserved table overlooking the runway. Only one of the coffee machines working so a long queue to get a cup. Food was self service and a fresh and varied breakfast. Too early to use the bar. Very limited toilets for the place so needed to go out to the main airport loos. Overall at £40 per head was worth a visit and will probably visit again
