Arrive LHR in First, Connect in Business - Concorde Room?
I am flying PHL LHR next week in First, then connecting within Europe in business. Am I able to access the Concorde Lounge? I searched the BA website and it's unclear if I will have access since it says "If you're flying first" and by the time I arrive I will have FLOWN first...
Thank you!!
Thank you!!

Of course I searched before I posted this... then searched again and immediately found this thread... sorry for the clutter:
BA Concorde Room Access
I am hoping nothing has changed in the intervening 2 years and will make sure I hold onto my first class boarding pass.

As long as your long haul arrival is the same day you are fine. You can also book spa treatments at 30 days and a cabana if you wish (subject to availability).
Take a look at the advice regarding flight connections and/or using the F Wing.

What about next day departure? Last year I was able to use CCR when flying CW the next day, however, I do not remember exactly how many hours the lady mentioned as the max transfer time, I think it was 16 hours (between the F arrival and J departure next day).
The connection was TLV-LHR in F and then LHR-DME in CW. No overnight flights if that matters.

True but not really a lounge access thing - if you arrive into T5 but are departing from any other terminal, you are not allowed to enter the T5 departures area at all, hence it is impossible to use any T5 lounge (except landside Arrivals Lounge of course!)...

BA F international flight arriving T5. Then, connecting to Club Europe flight in T3 . BA does not do First with Europe. Our First Class itinerary became F then J. Have 5 hour layover at LHR . Hoping to get into Concorde.

You cannot use the Concorde Room if your departing flight is from T3.
Are you flying LHR-SEA direct on BA in F? SEA is a T5 flight, so that would allow access to the Concorde Room if you are.

We arriving LHR from SEA into T-5. Our connection to Barcelona (BA Club Europe) from T-3 is 6 hours later. Hoping to check out Concorde Room before heading over to T-3. Will this be allowed?
