Concorde Room Card - Can you guest in ?
Funny, but the link above doesn't work for me. It asks me to log in and then shows nothing once it's established I'm just a bog standard Gold.

Whenever you’re travelling with British Airways, either for business or leisure, you can invite two guests to join you in our relaxing departure lounges (excluding the Concorde room).

That is incorrect. The CCR is specifically excluded from the two guest rule for GGL. You may get away with two guests as a CCR card holder in F but this just isn't allowed in the rules. Likewise you may get away with this as a non-CCR GGL in F, but it isn't permitted.

I know this thread is a couple of months old but I still find that guide very interesting- thanks FM. I learnt a few things, that I didn't know, that I think are suggested:
1. The second GGL guest must be travelling on a BA flight (the first can be any oneworld)
2. CCR guests have to be on BA flights (obvious at T5 (but what about Iberia?) but in JFK I suppose it means no CCR guesting of CX passengers)
3. The GGL 2 guest privilege only applies to BA flights (i.e. you couldn't use it if travelling F in AA out of T3)
It looks like somebody has taken quite a bit of care mapping-out the scenarios for the lounge guardians, I suppose there are other pages in the manual for blue, bronze and silver and I wonder if the oneworld equivalents and premiers also get their own pages?

There are other pages for other scenarios including Prems, BA Board executives, Qantas' CCR equivalent (they don't into CCR now) and what not. I think the oneworlds are just read across (Emerald=Gold and so on). Iberia at T5 is being treated as BA at least informally. The boarding pass situation there gets very complicated because various scenarios can come up, not least IB can operate a BA prime flight anyway.

Out of interest, what are the published restrictions on Premiers? I'm a little surprised there are any given how few travel through per day - even if they brought 5 guests in it wouldn't have much of an impact, and presumably invaluable in goodwill.
I did notice a rather fascinating document on the door one day at GC (something like "Lounge Pre Booked Exemption List" or something) - which made reference to a premier (as well as people being let in due to flight delays and various people allowed to bring their family in), so perhaps it's all negotiable with Special Services to those who Need To Know...

I am about to get a CCR card for the first time as a result of my first ever miles run, on which I dragged my husband. I am not looking forward to telling him that he cannot be guested into the CCR with me when we're not flying first. So may I please ask more frequent users than I whether it is fairly certain that one non CCR holding guest of a CCR holder is allowed in the sacred room?
I only ask because of this in these BA ts and cs where, sb vb "Concorde Room Card" it says:-
2. Only the member named on the card may use it (no guest access allowed) or quote the membership number. Cards are not transferable in any circumstances.
(my emphasis)
Whereas elsewhere on the website, backed by experience in this thread, seems to be in favour of at least one guest. It seems the terms need updating or the rest of the site does, or I have misread something

Apologies for slighting diverting the thread.
We will be flying on an afternoon flight and have friends whose flight is at least four or more hours later.
Are we likely to have any issues getting them into the CCR because there is such a time difference and will they be expected to leave when we do?
Thanks.
