Lounge crawl allowed in T3??
Flying club europe class with my brother from terminal 3 LHR on a BA flight to BCN. Am I right in thinking that we can visit every one world business lounge? AA, Cathay, Qantas, BA? Lounge crawl sounds like a great Friday afternoon!

And aim to go to Cathay about 40 minutes before a CX departure when the lounge is just clearing out, and you can grab a nice armchair by the window.

Given that BA chose to withdraw the T5C Starbucks privilege which was costing £15 a time, I worry that T3 lounge choice (which reports/speculation on here suggests is significantly more expensive) risks going the same way.
It would be a shame if we all lost the option to go to any lounge because some choose to go to several.

I do suspect that BA has done the sums and for the number of pax travelling via T3, the subset of which know of the other OW lounges, it's tolerable in financial terms. I don't have the dislike of BA T3 F that others have, but the choice is welcome, so I hope it continues

This was evident during a recent temporary closure of the BA F lounge, when AA and CX suddenly became flooded by JAL passengers (who are told to use the BA lounge). When the announcement was made in the AA / CX lounges that the BA lounge was open again, most left!
