We had the same attempted refusal flying HEL-LHR in AY J on a BA coded ticket in early July at around 1600. All 3 of us BA OWE. The lounge agent directed us to the J lounge on the basis of the fact that we were on BA tickets operated by Finnair. I protested, saying we were emerald. After a couple of minutes, we were all let in to the Premium Lounge as I understand we were entitled to. Standing room only. Very poor lounge experience overall but the macaroons were excellent.
