So close to Concorde :(
 

I calculated that I will fall 85 tp short of Concorde room status :( what a sad day. Should I talk with BA or am I SOL?

Thanks fellow flyers :)

Just do a Tier/Milage run...

Can you not do a short TP run somewhere? You might talk to BA and they might be nice but don't hold your breath.

To be honest I would not really worry about it.

You must be GGL already, with access to almost everything BA can offer including the Galleries First.

It is only an airport lounge after all, and I dare say that if I did enough flying to earn a CCR card I would probably not want to spend much time in airport lounges anyway.

Or you fly only on F, so you don't need it :D


As others said, make a phone-call and if they say no, then TP run.

For the ease of turning right after security, and a calmer place to eat with much better F&B, I would definitely do a tier point run. With checked bags, one needs to be at LHR a decent time before the flight, so might as well make that time as relaxing as possible! Whats another 85 for 5000tp anyway... lol

I hear that the 5,000 TP rule is being very tightly enforced with no exceptions. Apparently this has resulted in quite a culling of CCR membership.

You can certainly ask. Otherwise a TP run seems like a wate of time to me (if not money) - it's just a room with not-quite-up-to-scratch food and fairly good booze.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I will definitely give EC a call and might possibly consider a TP run. I can fly from MCO to MIA F which would be a 40 minh flight each way and about $1000 RT.

You will spend $1000 to sit in a slightly nicer waiting room, with slightly nicer free food and drink rather than in the nice waiting room with nice free food and drink you presently use?!:confused:

If one has the funds and wishes to spend them like that, then why not? :)

Because the OP is based in Orlando?! The waiting room isn't even local! :D

It does seem a tad crazy....

if the op is loaded and it makes him happy then fair play to him :D

Agreed, if I had the funds (&TP's) I'd do it.
