T2B is really not far away, try to go there in future.
I think a lot more pax would go to T2B if they knew or were eligible, there’s a lot of families flying with a SEN or HON (in Y) who wouldn’t have enough guesting rights to use the Star Lounges so they’re stuck in Helga’s roasting, under catered and ram packed shack.
Staff obviously never tell pax they could use T2B.
Perhaps they should remove the family benefit for SEN and HON with immediate effect to relieve cost pressure and reduce crowding.

unfortunately that’s true. Last month I flew with Swiss in C and the check in agent told me that I can use the LH lounge. I did tell him that I will probably go to the others one but he seemed quite surprised and replied “Swiss only uses the LH lounge, I don’t think you can use other star alliance lounges”. Obviously a menzies or whatever the company called staff who didn’t know much about Star Alliance policy.

Probably none of them do because it costs them money which is precisely the reason that the four Star carriers with lounges have their own lounges to reduce costs.
AC is crap but I'm sure most AC pax use it than head to slightly better SQ or much better UA.

Have you been in the AC lounge post covid? I used to quite like it and I have quite a bit of AC coming up, I guess there's always United - never been a fan of SQ.

As someone that passes through LHR T2 weekly, I don’t think any of the lounges in T2B are so much better than the crappy LH lounge that they’re worth the schlep over and back

It’s good exercise to keep the beer belly away

Each of the *A T2B lounge has something going for it, depending what you are looking for.

Lucky you... They didn't even have any branded napkins, just some cheap ones. Got the last can of Fever Tree too.
Perhaps I am being discriminated against and that's why there is no champagne for me? I was dressed. I'll give it one more go next week.
