I have fed this back to all the GGL team so were all aware of this change to access requirements. BA.com will be updated to reflect this in due course. I appreciate this isn't the outcome expected but rest assured this will be under review as we settle into life in the new shared space with AA."

So this seems to be aligned with CK access now.
This is sad to hear. I thought this would be a comparable service for the very limited (by comparison) number of US GGLs who would pass through BAs new Concorde Lounge equivalent.

How many domestic AA GGL pax are there really?!
