At most, gal may have covered the cost different undoubtedly involved in switching to a temporary sub contract. More likely this is just part of a broader package of ba getting better check in, gates or deal on lounge space in their new quarters. Ba's bargaining power at lgw is limited. U2 has largely dwarfed it and nobody believes ww's silly threats about leaving Lhr. In all likelihood they just took a rather minimal deal which may not include transitional lounge questions at all as it is, frankly, the least of their worries in the context of such a move.
