A new premium lounge is in the works for Miami International Airport (MIA), set to open in 2025.

We first learned about this British Airways lounge in 2023, but the news went silent between now and then. Luckily, there are some updates about location, features

Let’s take a look at the details we know so far.

Miami’s New British Airways Lounge

According to press release, the design of Miami’s British Airways lounge will have a different look and feel than what frequent BA lounge visitors are accustomed to experiencing. This new lounge design concept should include lots of windows for planespotting and for letting in natural light.

The lounge will be located in the Miami airport‘s Concourse E

In terms of size, the space measures approximately 13,000 square feet, which should be more than enough to welcome British Airways‘ premium passengers and elite status holders before returning to London.

Presently, eligible British Airways passengers also have access to Miami’s American Airlines Flagship Lounge, which may lead to questioning the need for a dedicated British Airways lounge.

However, in winter months, BA operates 2 daily A380 services between London and Miami, which means a potential total number of passengers of just shy of 1,000.

While only 111 passengers per flight (those flying in first and business class) would definitely have lounge access, many of those flying economy or premium economy may also be eligible for access, due to their British Airways Executive Club elite status or Oneworld status. That makes a clear case for a separate lounge for British Airways passengers.

While British Airways did have a lounge in Miami from 1999 to 2007, that ended when British Airways moved out of Terminal D (where the lounge was located).

There’s also a potential positive here for Priority Pass members. That’s because multiple British Airways lounges in the U.S. participate in Priority Pass, meaning those flying with any airline — not just British Airways — could have a new lounge option in Miami’s Concourse E before their upcoming flights.

Hot Tip:

British Airways’ A380s feature the airline’s exclusive first-class cabin. It doesn’t have to break the bank to experience it for yourself, either, thanks to these ways that you upgrade your next British Airways flight.

Final Thoughts

British Airways is making significant investments to enhance the passenger experience for those traveling in premium cabins and elite status holders in Miami. This lounge also may become accessible to Priority Pass members when it opens in 2025, and offering a new lounge should help reduce crowds at existing lounges.
