United to take over BA T1 lounge when BA go to T5

I hope you really mean that they will take over the lounge when the last remaining BA flights move to T3! Although it wouldn't surprise me if BA just closed the T1 lounge at the end of March!
Does anyone know if Zone R and the existing lounges will remain open through to the end of June when the remaining short-hauls go to T3?
Will the lounges in T3 be ready at the end of June? I doubt it! Are BA putting in place temporary lounges in T3?

Hi,
I wonder if it be just a United lounge or will it be along the Lines of the London Lounge in T3 ( SAS and A/C) or will it be 1 dedicated * Alliance lounge. There has been a lot of comments on the United forum about the state of the United RCC's ( to the extent that in T3 they recommend going to the London Lounge and not the United RCC).

I think don't count on much. UA and BA both fly 747s, for example, and look at the differences. A bit more room might be nice but the current UA RCC doesn't seem to get all that crowded (because everybody is in one of several better *A lounges, I guess).

I really hope (as mentioned above) that's it's more along the lines of the London Lounge rather than the RCC, and yes, I'd be shocked if the spa survives.
but I doubt it.
