British Airways First Class Lounge and Business Class Flight

[@ukdavepianoman]

The T5 First lounge is ok but I don't find it much of a step up from Galleries South. I actually prefer the T5B Galleries lounge. The First check-in is very nice. The real First class lounge (Concorde Room) is excellent. As a Gold Card holder I really love the other OneWorld lounges at T3 especially Cathay Pacific and Qantas. It's nice being able to select the front row on Short Haul Business :)

There's actually to-go coffee cups in the business class lounge. Ask the staff and they will be provide cups

The sausages are so good

I was definitely glad I skipped the full English on my inbound flight to eat that in the lounge instead!

Good video. Black pudding there? Fabtastic.. I end the year with 30,000 Avios and no TPs. I won't be seeing you in there anytime soon. Merry Christmas.

[@charlesontravels]

Thanks! Yes there was but not for me! Merry Christmas!

Unusual for TFW security to be grumpy: my experience it is the complete opposite, usually enjoying a short chat as we go through the motions. Would it come as any surprise that many OW first class lounges in SE Asia are markedly better, such as JAL at Haneda & Narita, and the Wing F and Pier F in HKG?

Hopefully they’ll be a bit more friendly next time I go through! I’m very much looking forward to trying out both the JAL and Cathay ones in just a couple of months!

Hello sorry to ask could you please advise me, I have 140k amex points and wanted to book a return flight for 2 to Delhi in february from Uk Should I just transfer them to Qatar avios and book normally there? Thank you

[@charlesontravels]

If you’re wanting business class I believe a return trip on Qatar is 110k points per person so you may be a few points short. Always worth checking that there is reward availability before you do the transfer too.

[@uegk-zb9xp]

@ thank you, I just want to use the points and not use cash atm, so should I just transfer them and book it on Qatar website?

[@hawktheairsofter]

You mentioned that they provide domestic connections free, is that anywhere or just outside of Europe? Just as I'll have to do like yourself and fly to Heathrow, but from Manchester instead

[@charlesontravels]

Yeah that’s unfortunately just when connecting from/to long haul routes.

[@gabrielciprianmaxim2801]

That’s means is not first class service for First class.I worked there and also for Concorde room ,and also I don’t think doesn’t come any close to Qatar, etihad or centurion lounge.U don’t see the back stage.

[@gabrielciprianmaxim2801]

U know those “pancakes” are from frozen ,not fresh,even the scramble eggs.the mix is ready made in production kitchen.

[@charlesontravels]

The pancakes were at least still very edible though despite that!
