Glasgow is a lovely city to visit and an added bonus for me was my first visit to the British Airways lounge at Glasgow Airport. The airport itself is a bit of a warren of corridors so I was happy to arrive at the lounge.
Food and Drink
There is a decent array of food and beverages on offer in the lounge to suit a variety of tastes. The items are laid out on refrigerated serving islands to keep items fresh and you can access what you want from either side which prevents queues.
Glasgow Lounge and Snug
The lounge is rectangular in shape with the space divided into different areas. Along the walls the seating is generally two by two with charging points available.
Overall Thoughts
The British Airways Lounge in Glasgow is a perfectly fine place to spend an hour before a flight. The food options are decent, tasty and generally healthy. Wireless Internet speed was okay and charging points were available. There is nothing I can fault here apart from the fact it was quite busy on the Sunday afternoon I visited. Next time, I plan to hole up in the snug and sip on some Glenlivet Scotch Whiskey! Thanks for reading and if you have any questions or comments, please leave them below.

I keep reading reviews that tell of this lounge having roaring fires. The ‘fires’ in question are LCD TV screens that show roaring fires, any ‘heat’ is imaginary. Clearly either your reviewer has never been to this lounge or never went near the snug.
Of course, you are correct – the fire is on a TV screen, which is why I wrote the word fire with inverted commas around it. Since I took the photos in the review, I was both at the snug and in the lounge. Thanks for your comment!
It would be so much better without the piped music which – bizarrely – no one will take responsibility for. The staff say they have no ability to stop it or lower the volume. BA via Twitter point to the airport. It beggars belief that no one can say who controls it.
I didn’t notice that at all – saying that I was only there the one time. That sounds like a comedy of errors if no-one is owning up to who actually controls the music. You’d think it would be BA since they lease the space… what a disaster!
Looks decent and a typical BA Galleries Lounge. Similar offerings to the Upperdeck Lounge at Glasgow… Nice review!
Thanks for the comment! The snug is the main nod to Scotland in this case. I only noticed it when I was on my way out – had I known it was there, that is where I would have parked without a doubt!
Sorry, the Upper Deck is vile. It is expensive and poorly maintained. For the price you could have a nice meal in the airport or a few drinks.
I’ll have to try it sometime and see what I think of it!
