Apologies if this question has already been asked...
Flying LHR to SNN on EI ticket. Economy fare. It's a code share flight with BA.
I am BA Gold. Do I get access to a lounge? If so, is it the Gold Circle one in T1, the International BA one in T1, or both?
Tried to find rules online but did not find anything on this topic. I'll give it a go on Friday but perhaps someone knows.
Thanks.

I actually think the offering in the EI lounge is fine - nothing earth shattering, but not bad quality. Obviously Pret will have a much better selection, but you can still feed yourself in the Gold Circle lounge...and if nothing else grab a few drinks

My inlaws are flying LHR-DUB on Monday flying on to BOS in business class a couple of days later
They've just asked if they will get lounge access at LHR but, as they're not flying business class the same day I told them no but wanted to double check that this was right, just in case to save the, from waiting in the corridor!
Cheers

I don't think they will get access in this situation, and the big problem as you say is if they don't they're stuck in the Irish/domestic section of the airport with only WHSmith and a small Wetherspoons for company.

No, I'm afraid not.
If you have Priority Pass, you will have options. Or you can pay in to the GC lounge also - personally, I wouldn't part with the cash - T2 in DUB is sufficiently nice to make hanging around a reasonably pleasant experience.

Airspace Lounge JFK T5
Here are some pictures from a recent visit to the contract lounge at T5.
Overall the lounge is ok, just ok. It is a rather small affair which easily get's overcrowded. They already moved extra chairs into the lounge to provide sufficient seating which just adds to the cramped feeling. There are no windows which doesn't help. Service was a mixed bag with the front desk friendly and efficient while the bartender was a bit grumpy (everything has to be ordered, no self service). When I arrived the TV room was "reserved" but this was quickly removed given the amount of guests.
The food offering is ok and actually quite tasty (it is pre-prepared and gets heated on the spot , if needed).
