British Airways (BA) has signed a deal with British Telecom (BT) to provide free Openzone wireless broadband internet access service in its 25 UK lounges - including the six at Heathrow's recently opened Terminal 5 - over the next three years. The service will also be available to passengers flying on other airlines within the Oneworld alliance.

Deal Details

The free wireless service will be available from 1 Apr. It marks one of the first times a UK-based airline offers free broadband in its lounges. Users will be directed to the BA website when they activate their wireless devices and from there they can link to BT Openzone.
