actually I have had conflicting answers..!!! hence re-wording the question on occasion....
pre the change I was told by continental I could be a guest in skyteam with them, but to check after the changeover, after the changeover continental told me the ONLY lounge is holideck NOT skyteam for my companions OR me..
so I asked on this site and they said skyteam was still okay, but no to guest entry, so I am aware that I am going to have to pay..not a problem, so I asked what was the best way..
was p club day pass the answer.. told no.. there are no pclub lounges in lhr... so then asked which way to pay to get into holideck.. told speak to emirate auirlines....so I was about to pay thru a lounge agent, when they told me there has been BIG construction issues in the holideck lounge and only 1/3rd was open...expected to re-open mid december, so I am asking this question today:
is anyone aware if it has re-opened or if anyone had a date for re-opening -

if I am about to pay for a building site I would like to know.. but MORE so for the comfort of my wheelchair bound companion...
I only ask questions when there is a conflict with the info given to me between continental and flyertalk...and I check it out..sorry for that..
on the international bits (usa) there has never been any conflicting answers.. only the lhr access..

it is unfortunate that we are having to learn how to do travel with disbility facilities/access required, and when I have a couple of journeys under our belt I will be a little less paranoid..
thanks everyone for your input.. gwen



belt I may be a little less paranoid about what lies ahead...
