If you're not all travelling to LGW together, you have an extra excuse to sneak into the lounge without your friends! Its a bit meaner to abandon them in BCN when you will all arrive at the airport together!
Slightly OT, but I was looking at Rome prices for Valentines weekend next year and the Club prices from LGW (£300 return) are actually lower than the Economy fares at certain times!
I have no problem booking for myself in CE, its just the others who are not so well off. The fare is less than £200 for us all if I use my shareholder discount, seems a bargain to me.
Reference the lounge, My friend is BA blue. If he buys a CE ticket can he still take someone on an economy ticket into the lounge? I thought he still had to be BA silver to get someone in?
