As soon as customers pass through the grand entrance with its floor-to-ceiling glass, they are welcomed into a contemporary new lounge.
Those wishing to dine before their evening flight to London can enjoy a self-serve dining area offering a wide variety of freshly prepared dishes.
The food and drink menu includes an assortment of Nigerian classics and British-inspired dishes, which will be updated regularly.
Customers can visit the newly constructed bar, where a bartender will serve a selection of drinks, including cocktails, wine, and soft drinks.
The revamped lounge space also features a quiet room with day beds and a main area furnished with comfortable sofas and clusters of tables and chairs for relaxation.
Calum Laming, British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, said:
“We’re focused on investing in the entire customer journey, not just on board. For many of our customers, lounges are an important part of their experience, and the re-design of our Lagos lounge is a key part of our transformation strategy across our lounges around the world
"We’re delighted to open our doors to this stunning lounge in Lagos and we’re confident customers will enjoy spending time in this cleverly created space.”
The lounge is open to customers travelling in Club World (business) and first, as well as Silver and Gold Executive Club Members.
Recently, Legit.ng reported that British Airways, along with a few other foreign airlines, slashed airfares on the Lagos-London route.

The inaugural showcase, themed "New Beginnings," marks the opening of the newly renovated lounge.
