Quick T3 lounge question

We're flying from T3 on BA; two passengers in F and two in J.

AIUI the guesting rules are the same in CX's lounge as they are in BA's lounge, so all four of us could get into either airline's F lounge.

What's the collective view on which lounge is better place to spend 90 mins? I'm feeling robbed of my CCR experience...

The CX F lounge. And it beats the CCR, in my opinion, so need to "feel robbed".

Others will, of course, have a different view, but no need to visit the BA F lounge in T3.

The CX F lounge beats the CCR hands down, in both food quality and service. I would say you're getting lucky rather than being robbed!

Aah! Well that's quite pleasing to hear, I must admit.

Anyone know what the champagne offering is in the CX lounge?

IMO the only advantage of the BA lounge over the CX lounge is the drinks selection, which in the CX lounge is pretty small. Other than that I would choose the CX lounge every time.

Two NVs: Baron de Rothschild Brut, and Moët & Chandon. More details in the Cathay Pacific forum where there is a specific thread on the LHR lounges.
