Asked at the desk why this had been done, they did not know, so they asked the maintenance man, who did not know either!

What is more the issue is once again BA's lack of communication, with the time taken to cover up every port in both lounges, would you not think that a note on the front desk explaining would not go a miss?

I just had the burger in the F lounge here at LGW, I am impressed, I would willingly pay for that, not at all often you'll hear me say that about lounge food.
Chips were Ok but not up to the quality of the burger which tasted and appeared as if it had been properly griddled, and still with plenty of juicy goodness.
I do like to have my flabber ghasted.

Despite it being my umpeenth visit to the LGW Flounge since it opened, I've only just realised that you can recline the 'Bond Villain' swivel chairs in here. Makes for a very relaxing perch with good views out over the airfield.
And to echo the previous poster (heb999), the "BA Burger" in here is much, much nicer than its T5 Flounge counterpart. Had one earlier this afternoon and it was delicious as always. The one I had at LHR three weeks ago was no way as good (or as freshly cooked).

Hi everyone, I've just seen that the lounge opening hours are 7:00am. I'm flying at 6:45 tomorrow AM and didn't realise this was the case. I haven't flown from Gatwick for many years - usually all through LHR.
Can someone confirm if there is a lounge available for a BAEC Gold at around 5:30am?
Thanks in advance

Yes, what happens is that the First lounge entry is roped off with a printed sign saying it opens at 07:00 hrs, while the main lounge is open from much earlier on. This is definitely the current operating practice since I walked into the First lounge on the dot of 07:00 last Saturday off the Cathay flight from HKG, heading north to Edinburgh. The main loss of this is the full breakfast options, but the main BA Lounge is one of the best ones around, so I'm sure you will be fine.
