Windsor suites airport lounge LHR: $5k entry fee for 3 ppl

[SOPOOR]

Inside the world’s most expensive airport lounge

Anyone know about this?
Or even been? I guess it's one of those places you really have to be filthy rich to be able to step. Foot in

I've read two lots of figures, one 1800 GBP for parties 1-6 for up to 3 hours and $5500 (one can assume AUD) for parties 1-3 for 3 hours access.

In 2008 the FCO withdrew its funding, instead paying a fee to BAA, the airport’s owner, for each guest of the British government to use the suite. At first little changed – BAA continued to use the FCO’s eligibility list but this year decided it needed to put the suite on a more commercial footing, so has opened the doors to all who can afford the £1,800 fee.
​

This would be an expensive trip (not like you could sit down in whY after that experience).... but would be pretty cool.

Don't think I'd be guesting people willy nilly at that price.

Although splitting the fee 3 or 6 ways with friends may make it closer to a "treat" than a "wtf never be able to afford"....

Amazing lounge. Horribly written article! Don’t know how that ‘journalist’ passed year 9! ‘Sink’, grammar is horrendous.
