You did, and probably more than once! And what's more, it's correct, and you can't.

Welcome to flyertalk and over here on the BA board chrisbeams.

I'd be extremely surprised if you were given access but I'm sure you'll enjoy Gold going forward

Just been upgraded from J to F (seat 1a too) from Las to LHR. They circled a big J across the ticket. I'm connecting to IST with ba and wondered if I'd have access to Concorde room in this upgraded case?

Yes, you do have CCR access, just show the LAS-LHR boarding pass at the desk.

I gather from various posts in this thread, that if we arrive from JFK with BA in F, with an onward BA short haul from T5, we will be able to use the CCR while waiting for the onward flight?

I was a bit confused by the wording in Scenario 6 at post #4 which does not match the graphics (in fact the wording appears to be a repeat of scenario 5). I think it should say:

Scenario 6: Transit from a long haul flight in F to a qualifying short haul flight CE or ET.

Correct if you are connecting the same day you arrive into LHR.

Ccr access non ba flight

Good morning society, there used to be an internal PDF I could download that showed lounge acces, nearly done with all the cards and the regulations.
It showed access to the ccr on a one world flight.
Will be flying thru jfk leaving on finnair.. And would like to use the ccr and would rather have that PDF handy than fight the dragon.
Does anyone still have it?
Or any other proof for my plan? Thnx

AY don’t go from T7, they use T8.

the longer answer is if accessing based on cabin it BA F only. If you have a ccr card then you can be on any oneworld flight - this is clearly shown in the lounge eligibility guide though so no need for any extra handout.

Thanx karfa. I have 6 hours and the t8 security is quick so I don't mind hopping for a superb dinner.

Your mother is so spritely, she is getting younger by the post.

Would love to help you out, but Mrs Geek and I aren't flying until 16:45 to MAD of all places to use a lil break away from the teens as an excuse to check out the new club suites. { Or was that the other way round. } Didn't relish the idea of the stupid o'clock flight you are on though.
