And you would not be wrong I misspoke and it is indeed prosecco, recently back from Spain and it was stuck in my head. FCO is conf as Prosecco thank you for pointing that out.

Don't forget to plan a few trips from LGW - the First lounge there is small but quiet and very pleasant; and the Club lounge is also not bad; plus it's a good airport to chase a few cheap "long" short-haul Tier Points in Club Europe

Oh, and what everyone else said about Cathay First at Terminal 3 - it's the best thing about flying to Luxembourg. Or flying American Airlines.

Just to clarify that the TLL lounge is a third party lounge (not AY) and BA passengers do not get access to it unfortunately.

I'd say CX LHR T3 F, followed by AY HEL Premium, QR LHR T4, CX LHR T3 J, QF LHR T3 and then BA LHR T5 Concorde Room, in that order (although rating on champagne alone, the CCR would move up). I haven't checked out the MAD lounges yet.

It's been a while since I was last in CX lounge in CDG, but I remember Champagne and wine selection was decent for Business Class lounge (Pol Roger, Bollinger, Henri Bourgeois wines) That was in 2017 though, not sure if still the same.
In terms of optional extras, there is a sauna in AY lounge in HEL.

I’m pleased to say Mrs PtF and I have visited ALL those lounges, plus at least one not on your list - QR CDG F/J.

QR LHR T4 F/J has been my favourite for many a year; it has the feel of a gentleman’s club.

Wow thanks guys. I'll be looking for cheap flights to: MAD, HEL, CDG, BRU, FRA.

Which EU destinations would typically depart from LHR T3 T4 allowing me to try the CX lounge?

The CX lounge in CDG is fine, but not sure it's worthy of inclusion in a discussion regarding the best in Europe. It's not a very inspiring physical space, but certainly serviceable.

It’s my favourite LHR lounge. Haven’t done CCR but better than CX T3 and (off topic) Virgin Clubhouse IMHO.

Is it still open for non-QR J and F? I’ve heard talk that they have refused entry. Worth mentioning as well that it is not a OWE lounge, and is premium cabin only.

any oneworld J/F I think, although from T4 that would be QR and MH only.

I used to be there mainly on upgraded MH J fares, and felt myself very lucky to have QR lounge food and champagne; before settling-in to satay and Book the Cook on MH :-)
