If you are in F and see gate 10, stay in the Concorde Lounge for as long as possible.

The last bus is never crowded. The queues would have cleared. Also there should be available flight crew to walk you to your seat when boarding.

There is no need to rush for locker space in F. Even you want to front closet, you can put your bags on top of other pax bags rather than have them put theirs on top of you.

There is sufficient pre-board time to sip the champers and nibble on the Macadamia nuts while the flight crew finalise ground arrangements prior to push-back.


This is commercial BA not a private jet. Most British people tend to play down their status if they have any. If you want to be pampered and grovelling, fly an Asian airline. BA cannot be everything to everyone as everyone wants a different experience. My time on FT has proved this to me.
