Lounge Access [when flying FlyBe]?
Apologies but can't find this anywhere.
Is there lounge access when using Flybe flights at all?
Thanks,
gaz

If BA ticketed, plus in possession of a Gold card, and seeking to use a BA operated lounge, then the answer is probably yes. There is no guarantee however as local arrangements and capacity controls will influence the outcome.
If you can advise us which lounge or airport you have in mind, this will help us answer your question with greater precision.

Nope. Under oneworld rules it would need to be oneworld marketed and operated, under BA rules it would need to be BA marketed and BA ticketed and for you to be a gold.

I'm a BA*Gold and fairly often find myself on routes that aren't BA operated, eg Scotland to Birmingham or Belfast - would be interested in hearing how to book (FlyBE) tickets with BA code for lounge access purposes?

Flybe ticketed, only noticed it was a codeshare whilst eating breakfast (paid for) downstairs. You can’t book LGW - NQY on ba.com

Well unless there is more to this, it should not have been allowed (at least at the BA lounge) unless it was BA ticketed. And you can book (e.g.) BCN-LGW-NQY on BA.com.

To clarify
gold card holder BA codeshare = lgw BA Lounge access
everyone else no
flybe codeshare can only be booked as BA code if part of a non domestic/JER connecting itinerary.

I just booked an AMS-LCY on BA.com using Avios and assumed it was a codeshare, but now realise it's actually a FlyBe flight (operated by a DH8!) I am BA Gold and the ticket is 125- stock however it's a FE flight number. Will I get lounge access in AMS?
