"post-flight" lounge access
i am sure people have thought about this before but if there's pre-flight lounge access, is it reasonable that a post-flight lounge access is also doable?
except that most lounges are only accessible thru the departure hall.
sometimes my flight arrives early or there's a few hours before i will be picked up at the airport after my arrival, i can certainly use the lounge - especially at some crappy airports.

In general, though, your comment about departure side versus arrival side is probably the very biggest reason you only see this in a few airports. That is a huge cost, setting up a lounge, and to have to put one on the arrival side? If you are arriving, I guess the airline will also argue that you soon will be in a hotel (although it sure is nice to shower and clean up at LHR upon arrival.
