Mrs christep and I were in the LHR T5 Concorde Room yesterday. It is a very nice lounge indeed in terms of its decor and ambience. Unfortunately a few of the details are less good:

- the Board Room where the internet terminals are is very hot. Apparently it has been like this since it was opened, but the staff seem at a loss to do anything except leave the doors open.

- this is less of an issue because the internet connectivity from the terminals in the Board Room is very poor, although strangely this is site specific - yahoo mail, hotmail, and Flyertalk, for example, simply don't work; but Google, BBC, and other random sites do. Laptop users seemed to have no problem with the complimentary WiFi.

- the Spa is (according to Mrs christep) very nice, but you are limited to one 15 minute treatment, so that's hardly enough to go out of your way for.

- there is full dining (which we didn't try, but the menu looked nice) and a good selection of F standard drinks, with very nice olives to nibble. Bollinger Grande Annee 1999 has now replaced Krug as my champagne of choice

Overall it is FAR superior to The Wing. I haven't been to the new QF F lounge in SYD yet to be able to compare. (Yes, I realise this is not really a fair like-for-like comparison since The Wing is an "F & Emerald" lounge, not F alone.)
