There is is a small table in the corner with beer in an ice bucket, wine options (2 Chardonnay’s?!?) and soft drinks.
I wasn’t expecting the food to be great so we ate in the terminal. However, there were hot options including somm kind of chicken curry. It looked good enough.
There was plenty of room despite a full flight. The overall experience was better than I had hoped.

Is there any specific provision for F passengers / Gold Card holders?

Thanks for the update F1flyer. Sounds like it could be worse, but doesn't sound like there is much of a range of wine, and possibly no spirits? No self-made negronis for me from now on!
I presume no boarding announcements as with previous team? Will miss their dedication and personal touch, holding the lounge door open and saying a personal goodbye to everyone.

I was quite pleasantly surprised. The staff are working very hard to make sure BA visitors are welcomed. We were escorted to the roped off area and shown to available seats.

I'm gutted, this is my first experience flying First (next week) and won't get the full BA treatment. Boo!

I wonder if Gold & Silver card holders will be stopped from entering the lounge when flying in Y or W? This has sometimes been the case for me (Gold) when flying in W from Montreal back to LHR (where BA uses a contract lounge)?

I’d rather drink at one of the bars than go in that dungeon at YUL
