Lounge binge in progress
At ORD Flagship ready for flight 98. Planning to hit up Cathay and BA lounges at LHR Sunday.
Being newly EXP this is the first time I've ever been in this lounge without flying first... I feel sorta funny (in J tonight).
It'll be a lot funnier to be in the Galleries before my Y flight back!

Does the ORD FL have Guiness as LAX does?

Galleries First is a great club! Enjoy it! I had a great bacon and egg sandwich from the restaurant last weekend.

Enjoy the champagne bar in LHR. Unlike the Flagship Lounge at ORD the champagne actually comes from France. Whatever next!!!

I would not have thought to try it if the Flagship Lounge was open. This will be my club of choice at LHR.

I think it would be my club of choice as well. With the new upgrades coming to the FL, do you think it will compete with Galleries First lounge? I asked the lady checking me in whether or not the FL was completed and she said yes. Then she told me we could not use the Galleries club. I tried anyway and got right in, and the FL is NOT completed. She had bad information all around! We did go to the AC as well just to check it out. As far as ACs go, it was also a fairly nice club.

I doubt it. All info from that agent was reported as bad. Since BA Galleries is BA operated - not thrid party - OW Elites cannot be excluded - except for capacity control. And if you'd been there, you'd know just how unlikely that is to actually happen! Just a rouge agent spewing cr@p!
