Lounge when transit at LGW

I'm arriving into LGW on a BA F flight but leaving on a FlyBe flight. Am Silver. Can I use the lounge?

No, FlyBe is not a oneworld airline.

Wonder where the OP is heading with flybe

Is it all one ticket and is your NQY sector on a BA flight number ?

Nope - lounge access is always predicated on the departing ticket (in this case, a non-OneWorld Flybe ticket...)


The only exceptions I know of are the LHR T5 arrivals lounge (and other OneWorld arrivals lounges elsewhere - though not at LGW), and the fact that when transiting LHR from an arriving flight in First to a departing flight on the same ticket in Club Europe / Club World, it is possible to access the Concorde Room


So, bad luck...

not strictly true.

If if you are connecting to or from a short haul flight (any class) from or to a long haul J or F then you can use the J or F lounge before the short haul - as long as they are both Oneworld. Can be separate tickets.

Same result for OP though 🙁

If it was a BA codeshare on Flybe, and the traveller is BA Gold then there would be access on a 125 ticket.

Not correct. Arriving on a oneworld flight in J/F and connecting to a short haul oneworld flight in any class allows J/F oneworld lounge access. See the oneworld website.
