We are going to Asia next year from LHR T5 with BA. My wife is on a separate booking in F and me and the 3 children are in WTP and I am BA Gold. I know my wife can access CCR and take a guest. And I can take 1 guest, but since we have 3 children I cannot go to the F lounge.

My question is, if my wife do not want to use the CCR Can she give the access to me? And can I then bring in one child together with me? Or she can only bring me in as a guest and then exit CCR immediately to take the children? We have booked a dayroom in a hotel close to LHR.

Thank you for the replies I have been to First lounge many times, also my children. But I have only been to CCR a few times, so I want to prioritize going there.

Ok, from the answers I see the following. We arrive LHR and exit airport. I bring the children to the hotel and my wife use First Wing and then go to CCR alone. I come back a few hours later and go through Fast Track with children. My wife then guests me in to the CCR and then exit same time to take the children a short while before our departure. Is this doable? Or I am not allowed to be in CCR without my wife who is guesting?

Can you exit the CCR by going out the «secret door» Or is that only for entry?

I thought of using the business class fast track with my 3 children? That would be ok?

Sorry if I was unclear. I have booked a hotel room near LHR and I will bring the children there for a few hours to relax before going back to the airport. My wife will stay in the CCR during this time. We almost never fly F so we think it is a waiste not to use this opportunity. I never said anything about violating the rules or exchanging guests. Only thing I asked if my wife could guest me in when we return to airport and then a bit later exit the CCR.

And I also misunderstood you CWS when you said Fast Track. I thought you meant First Wing Fast Track which I know is 1 only. I thought that I could bring more guests (children) through the normal fast track lane

^ But it will be me who take the children through Fast Track a few hours later. My wife is blue member, but flying F so she can use the First Wing alone instead of using the flight connections security.

Since I am BA gold I have access to First Wing, but as CWS says, there is a rule with 1 guest only. But no harm to try my luck

Really looking forward to the trip in F on the A380 to Asia. Got a good price of 1200£ in C to Asia and W back to Oslo. Upgraded the outbound to F with Avios

We are all flying to LHR from OSL and the to Asia so we need to do the security again anyway at LHR, either by using Flight Connections or exit the airport and use First Wing security again. That will cause no problem with ready to fly status? When we all exit, I bring all the children to the hotel and my wife goes airside through First Wing and to CCR alone.

A few hours later I bring the children airside through the normal security lane (since I cannot use fast track) The children are quite old, so they can be alone for a while, that is no problem. I can leave them downstairs by the escelator to the lounges on some chairs there while I go to the CCR where my wife can guest me in. She can than later leave and go downstairs to the children. That is a good plan?
