"LHR-ATH - This is a connection from first flight. Coming in in A class, departing in D. Can we use a great arrivals lounge or are we relegated to a BA ClubEurope Lounge?"

The Athens flight departs from Terminal 4 rather than the typical european location of T1. You can visit the BA lounges at the lounge pavillion near gate 12; this is hardly a relegation, it is a nice lounge and, as a business class passenger even shorthaul, you can , I believe , have a massage at the Moulton Brown spa downstairs by the first lounge if you have enough time.

Given that you are on a 1st class ticket, they may let you into the 1st lounge. When I have travelled with a BA/QF 1st ticket and been travelling on a european sector with only Club Europe and Eurotraveller (prior to getting OW Emerald), I have been allowed into the 1st lounge, so it is worth a try. Far better than the AA arrivals lounge
