Thanks
Sorry, I wasn't clear, there is a Club/Gold/Silver check in desk, where you can get the lounge pass from. There is no fast track for BA pax for security/immigration.

As of last week, the OLCI would only give a seat assignment, but no option to obtain a boarding pass.
It's s shame they couldn't have someone by the desks with pre-printed boarding passes for people that have OLCI. They can show their passport, and then head odd without having to queue for the desk.
However, I can happily add RAK to the list of stations that will move a (Gold) HBO pax to an exit row on request though!
