Nope. The number 1 lounge story checks out for MF. But note, BA are building a Flounge which is Gold, GGL, & GGL Life only. It is still not open, in any case with a 4 hour wait i would have headed for the Aspire which is much quieter and next to the delayed Flounge they are building, maybe MF could have a peak inside. With a BAEC card you can lounge hop.Originally posted by seanraaron View Post@clearedforlanding No chip butty? Screw that!Comment

So, a muppet who hasn't checked in arrives late at the airport with one hour 5 minutes before the flight and voluntarily chooses to park in a car park that is over 15 minutes by bus away, believing that 40 minutes is enough time to check in, clear security and get to the gate.
This is the kind of muppet that delays flights, or at least blames others for his own ineptitude.
As an aside, the Aspire lounge is better at LGWN than the one squeezed in to T5 based on my experiences over the last few months.
My current dilemma is JAL v BA to Tokyo next month. Nice of ClientCo to go for J tickets.

Just show them your GGL Life or Premier card & special services will make sure the lounge temperature is adjusted to your liking & find you some Jamaican Blue Mountain.Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostUnbearingly warm lounge. Coffee is tulip as well.
I am surprised they didn't greet you at check in.
