This is very impressive. AZ must be up there as one of the top ground service providers at LHR for this. And, shorthaul as well!
No other short-haul provider gives spa-treatments at LHR to my knowledge?
Arguably a better experience than CCR.

That's great news - and the choice between 2 quality lounges when travelling from Heathrow is a massive plus.
On a different note -
For God's sake - can anybody (marketing people, external agency - whoever) actually reread/review these e-mails before hitting send And this is not the first time I've come across things like that... Communication used to be way more professional & efficient back in the 90s!

Yes, or at least I'm assuming that's the case. Bringing a guest along is one of the benefits of CFAP membership and I doubt you (or, better, the guest) will be rejected on whatever basis. Please report back.

This is very premium indeed, in a few weeks I will try it (with a guest hopefully) and report back.
I have to say I've quite taken to AZ. It might be boredom with BA and the downward spiral whereas AZ is on the up. I quite like the FCO lounges, Aperol spritz and all that, having a staffed bar is pleasant.
BA have very good staff its their greatest asset. I've found this to be the case on CityLiner but rather inconsistent on mainline AZ and their biggest downfall right now.
