A bit too efficient at times. BA Gold trips to TLL sometimes need some thought and engineering to be booked away from the normal connecting flights in order to enjoy the LHR T3 lounges to the fullest extent, to visit the HEL Platinum Wing for a reindeer burger, sauna and Long Drink, and to travel on the specific LHR services that AY operate with their lovely A350s.
