First things first: There was very little food at this lounge, but I was there from 5:30 am until roughly 6:45am. I may have been the first passenger of the day, but none-the-less, the two desk agents both jumped up to greet me. A Business Class ticket on Singapore Airlines allowed me access, but Star Alliance Gold members also have access. The Lounge is located on the 2nd floor of Terminal A (not the main terminal that Korean Air flies out of).
The entire space is rather dark and there are no windows. It sort of feels like you are in someone’s basement, albeit a very nicely appointed basement.

As mentioned, the food was sparse, but there were a few chefs scurrying around, about to prepare something. There were some instant noodles, bread and a small salad bar set-up. Come to think of it, there were some signs that said hot food would be available shortly.
The shower room looked great, as it was stocked with toiletries. There was also a large business center and rooms to rest and sleep. My experinece at the Cathay Pacific Lounge, opposite this Asiana Lounge, was much better, but again, I was there at a different time of day.
Here are a few pictures of the Asiana Lounge in the main terminal.

i can only assume this plays itself

Good day from London Gatwick. At Gatwick, writing about Heathrow; now I’m getting confused. Let me take a take step back, if I may, to last week when I was at Heathrow awaiting my United flight back to Los Angeles. I checked out the Star Alliance lounge in Terminal 1 and true to my hypothesis, lounges, regardless of airline or alliance, are always better outside the United States-even if it’s a US based airline.

The Star Alliance Lounge at Heathrow provides plenty of room to spread out and relax as well as some more private areas to work. There is free wi-fi with the a code that is provided, although I was unable to locate any power outlets where I was seated. Shower rooms were available, but I did not use them. There were a plethora of magazines, dated US newspapers and the day’s locals too.

Food, while seemingly basic, can make or break a lounge for me. (What did you expect… my last name starts with “eat”) There was plenty of it at the Star Alliance Lounge-Heathrow. Sausages, sausages on rolls, bacon on rolls, cereal, yogurt, bagels, fruit, croissants and at least 2 dozen beverage choices not including the hard stuff (booze). You would be hard-pressed to go hungry there.

Best Bet: When you enter the lounge, veer off to the left and head towards the back of the lounge. This area seems to be the most spacious and there is alot of natural light provided by floor to ceiling windows.
