Heading to London? Our guide covers the best ways to fly there and where to stay to maximise your points, plus some handy tips and tricks.

British Airways flies from two terminals at Heathrow Airport. Here’s a look at the airline’s best lounge in T3 – the terminal also used by Qantas, Cathay Pacific and most other oneworld Alliance airlines.

This lounge is a favourite of many frequent flyers, and it’s easy to see why. It’s also a savvy alternative for Platinum-grade members travelling on other oneworld airlines, including Qantas.

A Qantas Platinum frequent flyer card can get you into a lounge when you touch down in London… but interestingly, not when you fly Qantas itself.

Step inside one of the most fascinating and exclusive lounges in the entire world. Getting inside requires either VIP-level airline status or a ticket in BA First. But nobody said you had to pay full fare…

This certainly isn’t Heathrow’s fanciest First Class Lounge, but the à la carte dining hits the spot. It’s also one of the many options available to Qantas Platinum members flying from Terminal 3.

This lounge could be the perfect go-to for eligible Australian Amex Card Members, and it’s even in the same terminal used by Qantas for flights to Singapore and Perth.

Conveniently located in London’s Park Lane, The Sheraton Grand London Park offers exceptional service and amenities. But is it worth the cost?

I had an opportunity to check out Virgin’s take on First Class High Speed Rail travel in the UK earlier this year – and even managed to earn some frequent flyer points in the process.
