Which Lounge for Non-Status Passenger at LHR Terminal 2
At the new LHR Terminal 2 can anyone please tell me which lounge TK will tell me to go being a non-status passenger flying in business?
Should they by chance say there is a free choice of the Star Alliance lounges what would be the best. Will be travelling through in late August thanks.

They "suggest" the UA lounge if the flight departs from B terminal and to be honest it is very good with an excellent breakfast buffet.

To close out this query the check-in agent printed out invitations for the Plaza lounge. This may have been as the gate was not confirmed until 45 minutes before the flight although the lounge turned out to be close to the confirmed gate A17.
The lounge was excellent with great food but they put away any decent drinks onto an extra cost shelf. Only included whisky for instance was Famous Grouse whereas Black Label and Glenfiddich were extras.
Incidentally check in was a bit of a farce. Whereas economy passengers check in to a row of counters serving all Star Alliance airlines the business class passenger has to go to two dedicated Turkish Airlines desks. We arrived just after two groups each with 6 plus passengers and many cases which were dealt with in a painfully slow manner. Eventually it took us 25 minutes to be processed with no apologies from TK. The economy check in would have been far quicker but I doubt they would have been able to make the lounge invites.
