No suggestion on your question, but highly recommend you take them to the Cathy lounge in T3.
Thanks for the reply, it is a possibility- LHR-PRG and then PRG-HEL-OSL would be £292 (seperate Y tickets)
Not sure my folks would necessarily appreciate me cramping their style on the first night of their holiday though, hence thinking of alternatives. The TPs/avios aren't important in this instance, but flying ?BA ?OW out of LHR is for the lounge access.

1. Buy the cheapest one-way fare you can find out of T3 and do not fly it. (I assume you have status and your folks are flying club so you don't need a club flight to get access to lounges).
2. Buy a fully refundable J or F ticket, but again do not use it. Then move your OSL flight of 14th to 13th and stroll to T5 once you have brought your folks to their gate. Get your other flight refunded.
Thanks for the points, hadn't thought about a fully refundable (can you refund it even if you've gone airside on the ticket? They are flying Y (at their request) but as GGL I should be able to guest them both in.
