I have also played the lounge hopping game but generally I’d rather just camp down somewhere good and stay there. Perhaps on extended delays where multiple meal times are covered I might move but otherwise just want to chill. In LHR T3 first choice would always be CX First due to my OW Emerald.
In ATL there is not really any acceptable chill option. There is no TSA-pre in the international terminal where you must check in if flying BA so wildly variable security wait times have you at the airport early. You have the choice of a long wait for the centurion plus a long walk or train ride there and back or the chaos of The Club. I actively make an effort to avoid ATL these days, which is difficult because Master Tafflyer now lives there with Tafflyer mini.
