Yes I had the interesting version, as below.

I'd also recommend the Radisson Blu Vieux Port. Rooms aren't spectacular but can get lovely views of the port and cheaper than the IC I suspect. Friendly staff too. It's especially good when paid for by BA thanks to EU261.

Thanks both for the hotel recommendations,

I must say that the IC Marseille looks fantastic!

Thanks C-W-S for the departure list, much easier way to look at destinations by departure time. Could I ask where you obtained it from? EF?

No, just BA.com (Status/Airport) and a pivot table in Excel.

My bad. It seems a long time ago when SAS was in T3!

Thanks.

CX Lounge

+1 for CX lounge

I'm a sucker for the Aesop products and the wonton noodles.

Hopefully not eating the former or washing with the latter.

Indeed.

I have done this on a couple of occasions.

The most extreme cases meant about 7 hours at the airport to entertain my sister in law in GF before her afternoon flight to YYZ and my evening flight to ATH.

I wouldn't necessarily say that the No1 Lounge is better than the Flounge...

Also I think the OP is looking for an excuse to take his OH away for a weekend ^

Best hotel in Marseille, IMO but one of the rooms at the front with a small terrace rather than an ordinary room at the back does make a significant difference to the enjoyment of the hotel.

As Ldnn1 points out, however, it does come with a price tag compared to other options although it remains on the whole quite reasonable compared to ICs in a lot of destinations.

What is the BA strategy for terminal allocations by the way? On what basis are flights relegated to T3?
I think it is mainly O&D heavy flights.

Reviving this thread...

Been flying out of T3 to WAW for a couple years now. Yet, seems flights after April 1 to WAW are going out of T5 again?

Did BA make some big route changes here, or maybe it’s just a select few destinations?

WAW moved to T5 late last year. There are occasional route transfers between t3 and T5. For an up to date list see post 2 of the T5 connections guide linked to in the sticky.
