GC Lounge access using BAEC
My wife is a BA silver flying MAN-DUB-MAN next week and I am wondering if she will have access to the gold circle lounge in Dublin or in the lounge in Manchester?
I know that normally she would only be allowed in if flying Dublin to London but now that it is all IAG have things changed or has has anyone gained access using a BAEC card.

I might just suggest that she try it and ask at the lounge desk and see what they say.
In the past I have always found the staff in the GC lounge very nice and always helpful.
I will report back

Do report back.
I think the Aspire lounge in MAN will definitely not accede to her request...I can't imagine there is any scenario where a BA Silver is allowed access to that lounge.

Well as they say you dont try you dont get so no harm in asking whatever the outcome is they can only say no.

They really can only say no and if one already has the mindset of not getting in then it won't be a shock if you get refused

The update.
In short no.
She went to the GC desk with a no in mind. Asked about entry and was no at the moment. "Access is only for BA codeshare flights we don't have the capacity."
"We are waiting on BA to let us know but at the moment BA are keeping us as a separate entity."
She said the girl was very pleasant about and said hopefully in the near future.
She went and had a coffee in Bulters as there was no seats available in the terminal and the gate had not yet been posted.
What's flutes like for food?
