Access for BF passengers in LHR will exist, though exactly which lounge is unknown. If CO is still in T4 it will either be the SkyTeam lounge or the Holideck. My guess is that CO will not permit guests access but I'm not certain.
In EWR they'd be permitted to bring guests but they'll run into the issue of being underage. If you go in with them it should work out but that is a strange technicality/interpretation of the rule that would be interesting. Since they aren't permitted access as a minor they can't guest you in. But if you were ticketed in BF you could guest them in. Hopefully CO will use logic and permit the access.
On the return you should have the same situation in EWR.

Me neither, but there are a few people who have asked at LHR and the ground staff there seems to think that they might keep the ST lounge. There will be something for BF pax but likely not for guests. What the something is will be obvious in a few weeks and speculation until then.

Well I am not due to fly until 2010 but have booked flights now as the fares will rise in the UK 31st Dec - due to VAT increase.
Am viewing the situation with lounges with interest. I have a one day pass for CO lounge and as of today CO cannot confirm which lounge will be used after their move from Skyteam at the end of this month!
Surely they must know? One rep said that as long as CO was in T4 they'd have an arrangement to use Skyteam lounge.
Anyone heard anything different?

Anyone know what the actual situation is now that CO have joined *A? The list of lounges on CO.com includes the LHR Skyteam lounge and says that *G members are allowed access. Has anyone tried to gain access on the basis of being a *G (rather than being seated in BusinessFirst)?

Great Lounge, *G Good to Go!
Economy ticket, *G = Accessed the ST lounge with no problem a few days ago.
Lounge is great. Huge food and drink selection. Breakfast included sandwiches, omelets, crepes, cheese, fruit, etc. Lunch came out around 11:30am with lamb meatballs, quiche, salmon, wraps, charcuterie, cheese, salads, etc. Food isn't the best tasting ever, but great selection and good enough for being free!
Showers are also very nice with lots of space.

I gather it's not available for inbound BF passengers? I have a 4-hour layover before connecting on BA in economy for a short jump to CDG. I can't get in via Star Gold because my same-day ticket will be on BA. So I figure I can only get in if CO has struck a deal for arriving BF passengers to be able to use the lounge. I'm not optimistic ...

Arrivals and departures are separated at LHR so when you arrive at t4 you either go through flight connections to a bus to t5 for your flight to CDG --or-- if you chose to clear immigration and go land side, you will not be allowed through security and then airside in t4, the only terminal you will be allowed to enter is t5, so the answer is 'no chance' Im afraid...
