British Airways Unveils Next-Generation Lounges in Miami and Dubai

The openings introduce a destination-tailored design by Gensler that will guide future lounge upgrades under the airline’s £7 billion customer transformation.

Overview

  • The Miami International Airport space in Terminal E spans 13,000 square feet across five zones and is the airline’s largest lounge outside London Heathrow.
  • It restores a dedicated British Airways lounge at MIA for the first time in decades and offers airfield views, a full-service bar, focus pods, showers and a self-serve dining area with locally inspired dishes.
  • A private Concorde Dining Room in Miami provides First Class passengers with an à la carte menu, including Wagyu beef and roasted scallops, alongside Champagne such as Pommery Cuvée Louise 2005.
  • The design blends local identity with British heritage—Art Deco cues and a mirrored “London Calling” feature in Miami—under a global concept created with Gensler to standardize future lounges.
  • Dubai’s new Terminal 1 lounge covers nearly 5,800 square feet with Middle Eastern design touches, a Concorde Dining Room, regional food and signature drinks, built with local partner Al Tayer Stocks.
