British Airways plans to open a club lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA) in 2025, debuting a brand-new location for premium passengers.
The expansive space, which will span almost 13,000 square feet once complete, will be located on the fourth floor of MIA’s Concourse E satellite terminal. This new lounge will showcase a “new lounge design concept” and ideally be positioned near the carrier’s operating gates, a British Airways spokesperson confirmed to Travel + Leisure.
In the meantime, premium class British Airways fliers can visit the American Airlines Admirals Club before departure, including the Flagship First lounge in Concourse D. Once the new British Airways lounge opens in Concourse E, travelers can enjoy an elevated experience — and a significantly shorter walk to their gate.
As the largest European airline in the Oneworld alliance, British Airways facilitates travel via Miami from its partners, American Airlines and Alaska Airlines. Earlier this summer, Alaska began selling British Airways fares directly on its website through an expanded partnership agreement. Likewise, select Oneworld elite status members are expected to have access to the new British Airways lounge.
The news of this lounge comes as the major European carrier has announced plans for its largest transatlantic flying schedule next summer — with more than 400 services from the U.S. during the peak travel season. From Miami alone, British Airways will operate a twice-daily service on an Airbus A380 to London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) year-round in 2025 — supplemented by American Airlines’ existing once-daily service.
More broadly across its U.S. network, British Airways plans to revamp existing lounges from popular gateway cities, including Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), and Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD). While the carrier hasn’t shared too many details just yet, fliers can look forward to improved food, drink, and amenities when the overhauled spaces open throughout the coming year.

The Catskills does Autumn very well. A getaway in the fall provides a consolation for the end of summer. It feels like a homely embrace, offering comfort, warmth, and a sweep of color that will bring cheer to even the most die-hard warm-season devotees. As fall begins to drape across New York State, it’s the perfect time to book a getaway — after all, we deserve to celebrate this time of year in a place where the season is in its brightest incarnation. The Catskills’ Hamptonsification, however, means that a weekend in the mountains can quickly get expensive. There are some ways to do a getaway on the dime. One is to set a reminder for October 3, noon ET. On a first-served basis, Urban Cowboy Lodge, arguably the best cabin hotel in the area, is offering a stay on the Big Indian Wilderness for $24 per night.
Germany’s got a big secret: It’s got islands. And not the rocky, desolate, and uninhabited kind, but islands with miles of sandy beaches, picturesque cliffs, peaceful, protected forests, and seaside luxury hotels. The Germans obviously are in the know, and because of their geographical locations, the Dutch and Danes are, too. But nobody else in in the world seems to remember that Germany has a coastline on both the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, let alone that this coastline is peppered with dozens of islands. The biggest of all the German islands is Rügen in the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, itself a wildly underrated area. While Rügen takes a little effort to get to, the trip is hardly insurmountable, and travelers who want to see Germany away from the big urban centers, internationally known beer festivals, and packed tourist attractions would be remiss to pass on it.
