I was in the lounge back in Oct for an IB flight. Now I'm confusing myself as I did ask about the lounge opening. I don't recall if they said it opens at 5:30 or that's when they start serving F breakfast

Was in there for the morning flight to London earlier this week. F dining was completely empty and no staff standing by -- not sure if because there wasn't any F dining, or because nobody wanted it…

I too am wondering this. Also, what time does the lounge open for the 7:30 flight? The Wiki says 3 hrs prior but that was for I guess an old 9 am flight.

We arrived shortly after 5am and the First area was open and we had a full English breakfast.
Obviously we then delayed our meal service on board.
The main disappointment for me was that we didn't get to use the in lounge gate.

Hi,
Any update on this lounge for the 7.30 AM flight?
I presume it is still just a simple breakfast (presume no Concorde Dining and no alcohol :P )

Why is this BA/OW lounge not allowing QR Business class passengers in their lounge ? OW lounge finder clearly states that
all OW Business class passengers are allowed in. Lounge dragon denied entry to my wife with some ridiculous requirement that
the passenger should be Sapphire or Emerald to get in ! They could always deny entry based on occupancy but never
this reason !! This clearly contradicts OW lounge guidelines and what is printed on its website....

- British Airways
- Cathay Pacific
- Iberia Airlines
- Japan Airlines
- LATAM
- Access for eligible customers traveling on any oneworld member airline.
If we restrict to just the airlines specifically listed, we see:
- Cathay Pacific
- Finnair
So I don't think it's quite as cut and dried as being on the list of airlines.

BA lounge in BOS is not designated as a BA's private lounge like CCR so it is a OW lounge as per
the OW website. It should accept ALL business class passengers from all OW flights. Coming up with
some arbitrary criteria is breaking the spirit of the OW alliance.....
Oh by the way...QR does the exact opposite of this in their remote lounges in BKK, CDG and LHR ! They
only allow J/F customers of other OW airlines in their lounge but NOT status passengers if they are in Y !!!

Because in Boston, Qatar provide access to Business Class passengers to "The Club" lounge facility - presumably because the BA/OW lounge in Terminal E will already be at/above capacity. As per the website you linked, it is pretty clear which airlines have access under the class and status requirements to the BA lounge. These being:
- British Airways
- Cathay Pacific
- Iberia Airlines
- Japan Airlines
- LATAM

I had the same issues accessing the BA lounge flying QR J from BOS and being denied while at the same time presenting a BA Gold Card which is ridiculous.
