I'm booked on BA114 on 30 November.

It will be bittersweet to visit T7 for the last BA flight (presuming the schedule doesn't change). But, as I'm usually connecting betwixt BA & AA at JFK, the move to T8 will be far more convenient for me personally.

Out of curiosity ... I visited the T7 CCR last week, flying as a GGL in CW. My boarding pass was on my phone, and I was suprised when presenting this at the entry desk that the staff member took a quick glance at my boarding pass, and without scanning it, she welcomed me as a GGL member. I was surprised by this, because I don't see any visual indication on the digital boarding pass that identifies me as GGL. To me, it looks like a regular gold boarding pass. Is there something unique on the digital boarding pass that identifies me as GGL, or was there a printed list of GGLs flying that evening that she had memorized?
