Oh We came in from LHR and decided to head right to the Schengen area. Should have tried to enter the non-schengen lounge, but I wonder if this had been possible with our boarding passes to RVN. I think not.

Next time!

Seems like I'm in for the DO on Jan 14th! My return flight is the 18:05 already, though. (Still not able to update the wiki with less than the required number of posts so far...)

What seats have you guys booked? Still in Economy, but thinking about upgrading the outbound flight if there is room.

Good luck with that! this is going to be a platinum heavy flight and I assume that around 95% of currently sold Y tickets are on waitlist for upgrade...

Thank you! And yeah, I might get stuck in Y even if I wanted to upgrade... that would be the first time since reaching Platinum! My return flight is showing 10 rows on J at the moment, let's see how many there actually will be on the outbound.

Since I only have about 3 h at LHR I might skip the BA F lounge part and enjoy the CX F (if it actually has opened already on Jan 14th...)

Sounds like the CX lounge at T3 LHR had a soft opening today.

CX is pushing for the new lounge on their FB page, and there was a press release also today about the lounge - "the only CX lounge outside HKG that has separate J and F sections".

I might as well announce my official participation in the LHR event. I will join for "First lunch" as I need to fly in.
