Silly question, but are you sure it was the BA logo, and not just the oneworld logo (or AY logo)?

GOT: no sandwiches as such, better described as "salad bar including bread and cheeses" - for self-construction. The beer is not really local (Carlsberg), and the wine I somehow doubt is local either (but it comes out of taps labelled "red wine" and "white wine", so unsurprisingly I didn't actually try).

I, along with a few other FTers visited the CX lounge at CDG yesterday. In a word, it was excellent. The decor was clean, smart and bright. There were plenty of hot food options including a reasonably long list of made to order items. There was Champagne and a good choice of wines and beers.
I wonder when the LHR CX lounge will get renovated to the same standard?

Minor updates for Turin. Location upstairs by gate 10, airside but before passports.
no champagne but two Spumantes: Diamant Blanc Millesimato and Mionetto Vivo. iPads on leashes available at some seats. I don't think I have been in a lounge with more power sockets (all Euro) and USB sockets.

It's awful. I ended up switching to roaming 3G which was cheaper and quicker with the bundle I had. Any free wifi less than 30 minutes is not really worth providing free, as by the time you've worked out the code and your device has finally connected after the 56th time of dropping out after the countdown started, your 30 minutes is up.

Same here.
I was in the BCN lounge last night and the 15 minutes free WiFi is a joke – as it takes you 10 minutes to work out the code etc….
There is however a slight improvement as they now give you a piece of paper with a code for 30 minutes free WiFi on the top of the 15 minutes when you enter the lounge YAY!!!!
But it wasn’t working very good.
As our flight was delayed, I asked for a second “30 minutes free WiFi code”. The dragon gave me another one but made very clear to me that this is exceptional as it is one code per person!

Does anybody know if the lounge at Milan LIN is still operated by British Airways, as the graphics suggest?
I thought I read somewhere that this may have changed.

It was the Malpensa one that changed over to a contract lounge (semi unfortunately). Linate remains as per the visual.

LIN is still a Galleries lounge.
The Galleries lounge at MXP did close a year or so ago.
