Wait. Does this mean if you buy a CW ticket from BA with a 5 hour layover, you get to sit at the gate for the first couple of hours after you arrive at the connecting airport? That's good to know when deciding who to choose as you're travel partner.
Honest question. Would anyone who hasn't read this thread know this "rule"? (Yet another good reason for following FlyerTalk).
If you book such an itinerary, will BA inform you of the fact that your lounge access is more limited than the cxn layover time?
Any other airlines doing this at their branded lounges?
(Btw, occupancy limitations and restricted access is not what I'm asking about. Simply the OP's stated arbitrary 3 hours occupancy limit.)
