TIA for any help you can give.
I took CX270 on 9th February. Check-in opened at 10am for a 13:05 departure. If you are in J or F you will get a pass for the BA lounge. The lounge is nothing special (snacks, soft drinks, basic liquors). At least at that time of the day the lounge is pretty quiet. If there was an F designated area it was not pointed out to me, or obvious from the lounge layout. Allow about 10 minutes to get to the gate. There is a security screening at the gate, with a fast track for J/F to your right side. Once through security, if you are in J/F move to the front as there is a holding 'pen' for premium pax next to the air bridge. That area gets full so allow some time if you want to sit. Hope this helps, and enjoy your trip!
