It's sad in a way that as LHR is BA's home base and it's Flagship lounges are, in many ways, inferior to these OW lounges in T3 Yes, CCR has it's advantages and it's "charm"! (we'll use it on our return). Of course, it's not possible to choose in most cases, however, given that we could choose on that occasion, I'm just interested to know if many others would do the same.
It is a shame the CCR is maybe now 3rd best lounge in the OW network at LHR. Add to the fact that emeralds can frequent the QF and CX F lounges, and it makes it all the worse. Typical of BA today though.
