Soon we will have Golds asking for multiple guests for the Premier Fast Track or is the First Fast Track.

Might regular Fast Track disappear? Would BA pay BAS for two sets of Fast Track system

If the new lounge entrance is from the current business centre I guess a permanent queue will be formed just on the left of it.

If there is a sort of Fast Track already fro GCH/SCH, then any upgrade/priority entrance should be for genuine First passengers only to allow some differentiation. Otherwise it will just be another queue of GCHs flying domestically to EDI.

If CCR is getting a refresh I might be tempted to make a run at 5,000 TPs... Am likely to be well into the 4,000s by end of TP year. Maybe one of those nice QR fares from OSL/CPH for a long weekend in Bali to put me over the top...

You guys sure are easy to please. Imagine the reaction of Lufthansa HONs and F pax to the news that Lufthansa are closing the FCT but have now arranged for a dedicated security line in FRA so HONs/F pax can get faster to the F/HON lounges in Terminal 1 in FRA

They are separate issues. We are moaning here about the useless/joke fast track that we have to endure, when the break-through should have been there from day one. The fact that the CCR and GF lounges are being refurbished is an added bonus (also overdue).
