I'm intrigued. How can she pass judgement if she did not know? You must realise that there is practically a cult about LPGS. This is because it comes with a high price tag and a fancy bottle. Now, I enjoy it but I would never give it house room unless it was a gift. Champagne does not last long in my house it has to be said. I do not know a single person in France who drinks it as one can get far better at a far more modest cost - but trash it is not. Anything but. I was raised in the Champagne region and I was lucky that the Papa of one of my classmates was Someone Important at Perrier Jouet so I learned about Champagne.
I really do not comprehend the fuss over these blessed Lounges - but my view is this. If American accord certain privileges to those travelling BA First, the same should be accorded in return. Still, if our friends on American consider the prize Champagne as Trash, they will not be back , the Flounge will be full and the Champagne will not be LPGS either. Does any other Forum here on Flyertalk have this Champagne obsession or is it just us? Had you read the comments above before posting, you would have seen that. |

You apparently missed it. They did not serve her Grande Siecle. They served her some rose stuff that she described as trash.

Oh Dear. I quoted from above where it said that so I did not see your replies. What a shame. Never mind, we now we all know and can sleep easier in our beds. So it would seem the if I were to fly AA F I would be allowed into the CCR. We are stil, however in the dark as to the trash rosé that they are serving, but with this I will learn to live.
Fairly typical of BA’s F wine list policy to lead each category (red/white/fizz) with something of highish quality, followed by a list of lesser (though not necessarily bad) wines. |

Hi,
I think the BA advice is wrong . From the BA forum, IIRC it is clear that AA F pax leaving from T5 do have CCR access ( would not be the first time that the BA helpdesk is incorrect) Regards TBS live update, flying AA101 to JFK in F. Just scanned in at the CCR, admitted straight away. Flight was marketed by AA. |

Some prefer helping themselves to a bit of this and a bit of that from a buffet rather than ordering individual items via table service. Fasting would actually make the CCR a clearer choice!

7:35 AM on April 12, I have finally been admitted into the sacred Concorde room. Don’t know why on my other trips the last few months kept me out, but this time no issues. I bask in its warmth and sophistication!

That's great to hear but your post lacks detail. Flying what?

Did you actually try to enter and were refused or just didn't know you were entitled to access?

Inconsistency is always frustrating.

Guest access?
Any experiences with AA guest access? Will be flying LHR-JFK AA F award ticket, companion is in AA business.
Secondarily, any tips for navigating LHR? coming off BA flight from EDI, I have UK passport, he does not; both with checked baggage that won't check through. Cheers! |

Hopefully others can weigh in with any actual data points, but generally speaking lounge access that is based on ticketed class of service does not get guesting privileges; only access based on status gets guesting privileges. However, CCR isn't an ordinary lounge, so grain of salt etc.
BA F passengers can guest 1 pax into the CCR( based on F ticket) so I think AA F pax could do the same. This is the exception to the general rule that lounge access based on class of travel alone does not offer guesting privileges. Regards TBS |

This is the exception to the general rule that lounge access based on class of travel alone does not offer guesting privileges As you are arriving from Edinburgh ( EDI) there is no immigration. On separate tickets it is highly likely your bags will only be checked to London so the process will be Arrive at LHR Go to baggage reclaim Exit to landside Take the elevators to departures Walk to the First Wing and check in with the dedicated AA desks Go to security and the corridor will take you to Galleries First Exit the lounge and head along the corridor to the Concorde Room entrance How long is your layover at LHR as BA would not protect you on separate tickets ( AA may do so if coming off a one world flight) Regards TBS |
