I couldn't believe it until I saw it... For now I've taken up a Dragonpass subscription. I'm looking at all my future trips and I'm seeing the following:

Lounge access discontinued: BSL, YUL, ZRH, VIE
Lounge access retained: LHR, BER

So the odds are not quite in BA's favour. I'm only going from what I see on the OneWorld website. And we're not getting any vouchers for refreshments if there's no lounge apparently from what I saw in ZRH. If lounge access doesn't come back by mid-2022 then I'll be forced to book my flights on *A. After all I'm mostly flying to countries where *A is ubiquitous...
