If you mean LHR & LGW, I'm sure it would include LCY as well because I've been in before connecting to the Babybus and I'm sure it won't have changed in the last year. Are you confusing it with EI lounge arrangements?

I fly regularly between LCY & DUB and yes the lounge is the usual deal with regards to access. It's recently been refurbished and is no longer self serve.
I have been 'allowed' a guest before who was also flying BA but into LHR. They claimed they shouldn't usually allow this, guests apparently need to be on the same flight but they'd make an exception for me.

Shame the lounge is pretty mediocre... it's actually worse since the renovation in my opinion. I think it was nice when it was the BMI lounge in Dublin - a shame BA let it go.

I'm pretty sure I know the answer but just to check ... I'm on a BA ticketed/marketed Aer Lingus flight operated by Stobart from DUB-GLA next week. Being a GCH doesn't get me squat does it?

Correct. Stobarts are explicitly excluded from the EI policy, and you don't get anything from the DAA lounge either (and it's in the wrong place). You can however pay for lounge access by Aer Lingus, and there is a Priority Pass option too.

its certainly no worse than BMI days (it was terrible in the last few years before the end) and is better than it was a few years ago.

I agree, I’m not keen on the manned bar in the corner. I much preferred it when it was self service. Plus I think the food has gone downhill.
