Replacement Champagne Bar
Perhaps I missed something but what is the "replacement" champagne bar? Does this mean work has started on the new access from First check in to the lounge?
Cheers,
Steve

You do not happen to know if it is North or South Korean Chicken Curry? In the latter case, some cost cutting is still possible.

For T3 I mean, AA, not BA. Try the new AA Flagship food (a la carte), its like GF of old and the meal I had was nicer (and fresher) than CCR menu right now.
I mean hey, it was just a freshly pan fried piece of salmon, fresh salad and soft boiled egg, new potatoes followed by homemade crumble and homemade custard ...but thats the sort of food I want in a lounge.
Can't stand stodge!
Worst I've ever seen is a god-awful slab of cake crap in the pre-dining buffet in JFK.

I thought this "Korean Chicken Curry" was just the gloop from the GC lounge presented with a plate of rice and small side salad?

Asked for a menu, despite knowing what I wanted. A colleague did the same. Ordered and distributed the 2 menus to nearby empty tables. Within a split second they were collected and removed
Haven't seen any others around.

I decided to ask BA on Twitter what's going on with this menu lark:-
Me: @British_Airways what is the so called "trial" about with only having menus on request at T5 galleries first lounge? VERY irritating
BA: Sorry you're frustrated, Mark. We're trialing a new location for our menus, so far it's resulted in much speedier delivery of cold food orders. Hope this helps, let us know if you need anything else!
Not sure I get the logic behind this response whatsoever other than that it must be a cost cutting tactic somehow.

What the...!? Are they even reading what they type? I guess I don't expect much from BA any longer, but that is so much BS I don't even know where to begin.
I'll be in CCR next Sunday (20/9) and I'll make sure to walk over to GF and make copies of the menu just for the heck of it.

Perhaps BA should trial that too, as it is obviously something its customers would want.
