Flythe96flag should land any minute now. We will soon hear if he is in the CCR or outside T5 on his arse...
CCR is for passengers flying F on BA metal.

Technical question, ever so slightly OT: but does an AA ticket on BA metal get you into CCR?
I ask because that situation holds with Lufthansa (and joint-venture partner UA) and Frankfurt's first-class terminal and lounges.
However, try to get into SWISS's first-class lounge before an LX flight on a UA ticket and you will be unceremoniously booted down the stairs.
It's a confusing world

I find it hard to believe BA would go as far/stoop so low and start faffing about with customers AA issued (and confirmed honoured) tickets while in journey. That to me appears to be borderline extortion and with intent to penalize the customer. They would also be setting themselves up for a legal battle which could turn ugly.

An airline's specific ultra-premium lounge access can be excluded from the use of alliance partners, as long as the basic alliance-based access rule are followed.
BA, LH, LX, QR et al can implement the policies they wish, in his respect. It's just that the logic behind not discriminating between passengers travelling in your first-class cabin seems sensible - and it's one adopted by all except SWISS.
No doubt our intrepid Flythe96flag is taking advantage of that enlightened policy right now
But does the CCR serve Tequila ?

Just out of sheer curiosity... If you booked this itinerary on ba.com with Avios, how much would the taxes and surcharges be ?
