Thank you so much for quick reply. I now understand how it works. Have received confirmations for spa services at T-3 Elemis Spa. Then we will head to CX Lounge for duration of layover.

Hi all,

I have the following scenario:

1) BA First from DME-LHR (T5)
2) the next day, BA First LHR-SEA (T5)

I would like to enjoy the Concorde room after my flight lands at #1 . Then exit the airport, and then return the next day to enjoy the Concorde room a second time.

Will I be able to follow "connecting flights" and pass through security after my flight #1 lands? Or will I have to exit the airport and only be able to return the next day?

You won't have access to the departures area without a same-day BP, so no, you can't use the CCR on arrival I'm afraid. I don't know when the Moscow flight arrives, but if before noon, you can use the arrivals lounge, which has a serviced "Concorde" area/room.

I don't think you would be able to pass transfer security at T5 with a boarding pass for the next day. LHR airside is not open 7 days 24 hours. Also I don't know how exit works from T5 airside as the terminal is used for both domestic and international ops, I am also wondering how this works. However I am sure that you could access the Concorde Room from 05:00 of the day of your SEA flight.

Edit: As KARFA indicated that my suggestion won't work, I have deleted that part.

As noted by trueblu you can't pass through connections or enter T5 from landside without a same day bp for a departing flight from T5. Ignore ISTFlyer's suggestion, there is no point trying gates at connections as you will be wasting your time. Your only option on arrival in to T5 is to follow the yellow signs for arrivals and exit via immigration. You can use the arrivals lounge which is one floor up just after you exit landside, and the concorde breakfast room but the arrivals lounge closes at 2pm (it starts to wind down after 12pm).

In terms of using the first wing and the CCR on the day of your second flight that would be fine of course as you are in F on LHR-SEA. The security and lounges open from 0500 in the morning so turn up and go through anytime after that on the day.

Have a read of the T5 connections guide linked to in the dashboard as it outlines the routes available should you be in the airside departures area and wish to land yourself.

ISTFlyer

Thanks for your huge effort on the connections guide. But, I meant for same day departures, is there a way to clear transfer security after arriving from a flight, enjoy the lounge and leave the entire terminal ( clear immigration for international, just walk away for domestic ), enjoy London and come back to the airport and clear security for the second time and go back to the lounge. Not for the OP's case, I'm asking it in general. Thanks

KARFA

Thanks for your comments on the guide. No you cannot go in to the airside departures area without a bp for a flight departing T5 that day.

ISTFlyer

I mean with a same day boarding pass. Sorry for the confusion.
Could I leave the airside after I have entered already and re-enter with the same boarding pass. ( In the same day ) This is the simplified version of my question.

KARFA

Aha, sorry yes you could do that. See the guide, you can land your self using the routes stated. If you take the transit and do it yourself rather than take the escorted rate you will need to see a BA agent to remove the ready to fly status before you go back airside.

sorry if this question has already been answered. i couldn't find it...

I am arriving at Terminal 3 on a BA F flight. 6 hours later (same day) I am connecting on a BA Y flight in T5. Thus I should get access to the CCR, right?

Gastrocnemius

Yes, you will

Keep your F boarding pass to show at the door

I am doing a B2B to LUX then F to JFK. Could I use the Concorde Room for both departures as I will have the boarding pass for JFK before I go to LUX?

corporate-wage-slave

Yes, assuming the Concorde Room is open and LUX continues from T5. You need to enter T5 with the LUX boarding passes, and get that scanned at CCR. The scan will fail, and at that point show the JFK pass. You must not use the JFK as your primary boarding pass until you have returned from LUX, otherwise Ready to Fly will get mixed up.

wb1969

Thanks CWS. Would I be able to check in through First or would that also confuse the system?

corporate-wage-slave

No, well obviously you should first check-in online, but you could use the First Wing once you have explained the onward flight but again focus on the LUX boarding passes in terms of what is scanned at this point.
