Arriving in London, the First Class experience began - or not. If you change planes in London, you always have to go through security. Yes, there is definitely a fast lane for that. But it has a simple problem: fewer passengers enter it, but there are also fewer checkpoints. It is therefore for the ton, it often takes longer here than in the normal line. Especially because this additional control does not make sense to me, this is actually a reason not to fly with British Airways.
The control was this time quite OK, funny way we should leave the laptop in the luggage. On the return flight it was then again different. Everything was strange.
After the control we went to the Concorde Room. This lounge is known to access one of the most exclusive on the market. Apart from a few Concorde passes, you can only get in with a First Class ticket. Accordingly, however, no First guest voluntarily goes into the actual First Class Lounge, which is actually populated only by status guests.
The Concorde Room is quite nicely furnished, but not a haven of total luxury.


View into the terminal.

Significant advantage of Concorde Room is the restaurant area, during our visit we had lunch. The menu and especially drinks menu is very neat.








We took the soup of the day (lentil soup) and the seabass, as dessert dick pudding.




One of my favorite things about the Concorde Room is the restrooms. I've said it many times, I don't know of any comparable in a signature first class lounge.

With all the criticism, however, one must then positively emphasize that several employees were constantly busy cleaning the toilets, there was absolutely nothing against the cleanliness.
What came next was Heathrow at its best. There is a new trend to display the gates just before boarding begins. One finds probably funny, can hurry the people times. With us, the gate was displayed exactly 20 minutes before the start of boarding, of course, this was a C-gate. So we had to go with the completely crowded subway to the C gates, you should not lose traction as a first passenger. Where would we end up if we were driven to the plane in cars.....
There used to be a small lounge at the C gates if you got there a little early, but they've closed it now. You don't need it with the announcement deadlines, boarding started practically immediately after our arrival.
