Problem will go away soon when new BA lounge opens but as a traveller from ABZ and a silver it’s been a pain in the neck. A bacon roll and a cup of tea before the red eye costs.£6.90 so the £5 is a joke.
and last week en route to DXB there wasn’t an agent in sight to even get my voucher.
i was lucky enough to get into the new 3rd party lounge on a J fare a few months back (sold as economy to work travel agent but was a CE booking). It is an superb lounge. I bet the new BA one won’t be a patch on it when it opens.
