List of Lounges Currently OPEN to BA Passengers (open wiki for details)
This wiki includes details of open lounges accessible to premium (F/J or Gold/Silver) passengers travelling on BA operated services, either within the terminal BA depart from or accessible via airside transfer.
Other lounges may be accessible for passengers willing to transfer landside to other terminals or concourses, although this is generally not recommended due to time constraints as a result of needing to re-clear security. Additionally, some airports may offer pay-in lounges which are not otherwise accessible by BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently).
Most open lounges are operating with a limited food and beverage service, and other services may be unavailable or modified.
For opening hours, please check the oneworld lounge listing at https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges?location= which is now being regularly updated.
If your airport isn't listed below, this probably means there is no lounge available for BA premium passengers (either temporarily or permanently) - please check the oneworld listing for the most up-to-date information.

Given the past few months have essentially been wiped out, they are still "newish". From memory, they were in the process of being introduced at the start of the year.....possibly late last year. I think there were plans for a separate one for Concorde Room for eligible customers which would have shown directions from First Wing to the Concorde Room via the First lounge. Not sure what happened to it. Will need to check when I am next in work.

I know check-in agents may be told to tell the customer of the CCR, but I imagine some customers just don't know.

The drinks side of the menu is identical to the GC drinks menu. Makes me wonder if all the South lounges have the same food menu at present, with off-menu better wines, Champagne, JW Blue etc being the differentiator between them.

My lieu de naissance is indeed north of the border but even I’d struggle to find 1 a day in some black pudding 😁. Thankfully nanny wasn’t looking and I could drop my tomatoes and mushrooms into the nearest plant pot 😁😁😁.

I presume the First china plates are only available on the Concorde Terrace?
Niche question I know, but bear with me.

Yes and all the BaxterStorey staff too. The protocol seems to be to wear a mask when moving around, but when sat in your seat - and therefore potentially eating and/or drinking, it's ok to take off your mask.

Yes there is a big overlap. Club gets a Vegetarian hot breakfast option, not open to CCT and First lounge users, because the CCT/First version has a mini pop up menu where you can personalise your breakfast items. Club is "English or Vegetarian" and that's it. The rest of the day menu is the same throughout, though of course Silvers are in Flounge today, after the end of breakfast.
An unintended side-effect of being unable to order online earlier was that I could just circle the items I wanted and tailor breakfast that way. Unsure if that is the ‘correct’ use of the paper menus. I suspect the vast, vast majority will be fine with online.

Only AA is confirmed to move too T5. There is no agreement for other carriers at this time and no IT system to support. The only desks that have had common use kit are those that AA will be using.
Other carriers are getting ahead of themselves before agreement is reached on how and when others may use T5. Knowing how LHR works, I believe all of T5 desks are leased to BA so there HAL can't just move any carrier in.
