I wonder when the lounge opened in T1? I inquired about using it on March 19 and was told that it was still closed... Did you see any signs of remaining construction? Or another room that will be added to the lounge when the 5 additional flights make the move on March 28?</font>
No, actually the place looked fully fitted out, and it didn't seem like there was any more space to add. From what I understand, it's the First lounge at T1 Departures that isn't finished yet (at least, it wasn't when I flew LHR-JNB on March 15).

Can I help you, there were no leaflets handed out on the flight about the lounge--just the Speedpass immigration card. And the flight attendants didn't know where it was (the one FA that knew of the lounge's existence at all said that it was "just outside Customs," which is not even close to being correct). I only saw the leaflet once I finally found my way to the lounge, with the help of the airport information desk. And leaflet or no, signs in the arrivals hall are really a necessity! I told this to the attendant at the lounge desk (although I doubt that my suggestion made it any farther than the desk itself) and I hope someone at BA is reading this!
