Having been sat in the Concorde Bar lounge for about an hour, it feels more like a library than anything else.
The atmosphere is one of silence, and I felt guilty when I was on the phone (so much so that I actually finished my call in the main lounge!).
The main lounge is very pleasant, and there seems to be ample seating. It's a shame the food isn't better, but I suppose one can't have everything!
Oh, and hello to the chap checking FT on his laptop in the main lounge.

The OCD number cruncher in me thinks I have spotted a pattern in the pin code for the door but not sure I have enough data points to firmly conclude. Does anyone know how often the code is changed

I'm fairly happy that I have it but the earlier months when it opened were different if I remember

Overall, it is a bit disappointing, although an improvement, with the same (mediocre) food as the rest of the lounge and it feels like a morgue both in terms of the ambience and the temperature. I will always sit in the main lounge for the BA15 and only use the morgue late on for the 12/16.

In the Concorde Bar now and I'm impressed with the look of it - very classy. I do agree the atmosphere is a wee bit sterile. There are some great Margaret River wines though - 2014 Pierro LTC, 2014 Moss Wood Amy's and 2012 Voyager Estate Shiraz. ^^^

Normal CCR Access Rules dictate that CCR Cardholders must be travelling on BA to use the CCR. I see no reason why BA would deviate from that policy. No reason you can't flash your card and see what happens.

And I know that formally the answer is no. Although it most likely would not be major problem at most airports if CCR holders got access on any OW flight seeing as LHR is the only place likely to get heavy traffic and there it is not an issue as it is IAG only at the terminal. JFK only has CX and BA iirc at T7...

Could I check my understand of access rules to the Concorde Bar - does arriving First and transferring to CX give access by virtue of incoming cabin (like CCR).
Similarly, does being a CCR holder but flying CX not breach the 'BA only' access requirement?
Basically I think I get access by virtue of the first part, they say I get access by the second. Interested in opinion. Either way it's nice!
