Hassle, what hassle? Personally I'm extremely happy with NatWest Black - as well as the priority pass cards, there's global travel insurance for the family. The other insurance and home emergency cover features have also proved immensely valuable with prompt response when called.

you have to have an income over 100k AND pay then 24 pounds every month?

But the benefits list is pretty comprehensive for the Ł24: global travel insurance, priority pass cards, car breakdown cover, mobile phone insurance, emergency home assistance, concierge service, private banking helpline. It's not hard to get value for money.

Even if I have status, I may very well choose to fly another airline when my employer/client is not paying for my flights, and I have done so before.
(admittedly, this would not apply from T5 as this terminal is a BA only terminal...)

True on both counts.

My condo has security already as well.
(relationship balance for the former 2 is not an opportunity cost as I can use investments to meet it.)
As for mobile phone, I have never lost mine.
(the family thing may be a benefit to you, though I have no family other than my parents and possibly my GF, though the latter legally is not family.)

Concierge/private banking line I already get without paying Ł24, as well as travel insurance provided by my employer.

Good news. Hopefully a place where I can get a quick shower, in T5 (though my long haul to domestic connections have been awfully short, of late).

Nothing found on Google other than repeats of the press release. I would bet on it opening in the dying days of summer/early Autumn, rather than anytime soon.
