Some staff have suggested calling customer service for a manager to put a note on to grant Concorde Room access as it’s the only lounge without self serve alcohol but they never seem to be able to. Does anyone a know how or who I need to speak to in order to be allowed in?

Thanks
This was a problem I faced, for my children, when not travelling with me or my wife. They were flying in CE, but not allowed lounge access. I posted on here (much as nuffnuff77 suggested) a request for an adult to accompany them in. The response I got went into legalities etc. Annoying but justifiable, I suppose. The annoyance was that they were seasoned 'front end' flyers (like you) who, I knew, could be trusted in the lounge. The upshot was that, with a bit of discussion and persuasion, they were escorted in by a member of the lounge staff, picked up a can of drink and bag of crisps, then sent back outside o consume them there (let's not worry about that breaking one of the lounge's rules!)
