Thanks for the replies. Answering my own question, the Finnair lounge is back in the game for BA799, and not particularly busy at that time of day (in case anyone is interested, it is also used for the late night Qatar flight; not sure about the morning/afternoon Qatar flights which coincide with the AY peaks; JAL is still turned away). The lounge is still very much WIP, with various things not working/out of order, but otherwise perfectly pleasant in a Scandi chic way (think OSL/ARN). Plat Wing likely to be some time, judging by the extensive hoardings, although not an issue in terms of crowding for BA pax

Didn't try to get into Almost @ Home, so not sure if they still give BA entry. The Schengen AY lounge is busier, but larger/brighter/lighter with excellent tarmac views. The 2 showers didn't look the most salubrious though, so I gave them a pass...
