Also, as I’m Gold, could I take one of them through the first wing so they can experience it, even if they are on a different booking?
Thanks for the help! Can’t find it anywhere on BA Website.
Formally, fast track access is one guest per Silver or above, see here: https://www.britishairways.com/en-gb/information/airport-information/london-heathrow-airport/heathrow-t5
In practise, they seem lax at enforcing that and a polite request should hopefully bring a positive outcome.
The First Wing - yes, you can guest one (and only one) person through security and directly into the Flounge, even on a separate booking. That limit will be strictly enforced.
It's not clear - do you intend to stay together as a party once through security? E.g. guesting one person via First Wing will prevent you guesting in your partner to the Flounge later on, although this won't be an issue if you're not planning on using the lounges (I'd guess not if staying together and not in business)
