Yes PP is free with Amex Platinum which gives you Amex platinum cards for two people and therefore PP cards for two people.

Do people get PP for free with Amex plat still or something?
Or do people pay 159 a year for ten visits excluding guests (£15 a visit)?
Why not go to pub?

However, I have plummeted to the depths of bugger all flying this year. I will just about make 4 BA flights but the funny thing is that nowadays I don't care.
The addition of a non BA lounge an only be a good thing as highlighted and chances are BA are not going to be overly concerned if only because:
- if flying patterns overall reduced due to personal or business reasons, anything that encourages flying BA is a positive for BA and this has no cost to them
- if flying patterns reduced because you now fly with an alternate airline then chances are you would either get BA lounge access anyway due to OW, hence flying BA or you wouldn't be flying BA at all if possible and wont be in T5 anyway. If you are, then this maybe the tipping point and therefore more revenue.

Those of us that have abandoned CE due to the enhancements and are flying in the exit rows in ET might find this useful. Shame it isn't a no.1 lounge as I get two for one entry there....
