I definitely agree with that sentiment, but I guess the question came about because of this post from TyneTraveller in October:
I have to admit I don't have a clue about summer versus winter, I genuinely thought the opening times would be the same all year around...

... and indeed when I used to do LGW-EDI regularly the flights were earlier in Summer rather than Winter, so you would have thought it'd be the other way around if anything!

That's what I would have thought or even LONGER in summer given the apparent prevalence of more holiday type destinations from LGW. We shall see and I will report back on the thread.

New champagne in LGW First lounge
Forgive me if others have noted this elsewhere, but currently in LGW First for the first time in a couple of months (sympathy for dealing with bucket and spiders in security welcome) and there’s a new rosé champagne - Champagne Jeeper which seems to retail at around £45 a bottle. The normal fizz is now Canard-Duchene that’s about £20 in Waitrose. A slight upping of the BA soft product??

As to the champers I do like a bit of rose and I can safely say BA are paying a lot less than £45 a bottle!

Just a quick report back that indeed on April 9 that the F lounge was open at 5.30 (assume 5.15) (buffet only). I guess that the summer/winter thing is just some remnant of some previous practice.

Tuesdays 05:00 hrs
Other 6 days 05:15 hrs.
Closes at 20:00 hrs 7 days a week.
In other words they have correctly updated the oneworld website timings. I will let someone else find out what is the early service on Tuesdays.
