Early. I've been in pretty much at the start of the day, as the terminal opens.

BTW - the concept of the "throne" in the CX lounge is entirely a Facebook group construct. Any of the row of seats along the window are great, and there's nothing at all special about the corner one except it's a little further from the nibbles section.

Qantas, on the other hand, isn't. Seems to open midmorning.

Fingers crossed, and with another 110TP to find between now and the end of February, I should **just** hit gold before the Do.

I believe QF opens at 8am which in airport terms is virtually lunchtime.

CX opens around 5.30 or so, except on a Sunday when it is 7.30. No idea why this is the case.

End of Feb? BA TP years all finish on 8th of the month, with status running until the end of the following month.

Sorry, badly worded by myself (still detoxing from a rather busy weekend). I've got a JER - MLA trip booked in late Feb (nested around a LGW - JER return) all in CE, which - providing I get another 110 100TP should give me gold - my year ends 08 July 2019 and card expiry is 31 August 2020.

My 110TP target has now dropped to 100 having booked onto the last 767 ex AMS on Tuesday.

And I still haven't left Europe.

This is my dilemma... do I go for the 1030 flight or the 1230 .. I thought the QF lounge opens in time for its PER departure. Have not been to T3 since becoming Gold so looking forward to sing what the CX F lounge offers.. As a CX F Virgin I think I need to be allowed to use the throne.

Ok flights booked on the BA490 on 23 March and on the BA491 on 24 March and staying at HIX Gibraltar Devils Tower Road. Also staying at Heathrow Central Travelodge on 22 March. Would someone be kind enough to update the wiki for me please?

Very much looking forward to this, According to photos on Trip Advisor hotel seems to be reasonably priced for Champagne/Prosecco/Wine.

In a few minutes' madness I decided to go for this so now booked on the BA490 on the Saturday and back on the BA491 on the Sunday. Wiki updated.

So much for the joy I felt at coming home from HEL yesterday of not having any more flights booked in and out of the horror that is T3…

I'm up for a pre-Do at HGI or, if open by then, at the new HGI T2.
