Lhr3 one world lounge access
 
If I fly international business class with ba and arriving at t3 with business class onward finnair flights to Helsinki and hong kong can I access both qantas and Cathay lounge at t3? Thx

Yes. Finnair biz class ticket is good for any and all of the OW biz lounges in LHR T3.

... also you can access the AA and the BA lounges.

But why would you want to? :)

The golden rule is : Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner in CX lounge followed by coffee/drink in Qantas Bar :)

Because you can!

I do note the OP is flying Business.

In my case, being Emerald, it's even better since the F&B at the AA & BA F/L's are far better than that available in the Qantas Pub.

CX is my choice for food and AA F/L mine for beverage.

because AA seems to be the only carrier who understands some people these days need WiFi at more than 3mpbs ;)

So flying F through LHR is AA the better lounge choice?

Not for food.


Drinks, maybe.

i wouldn’t even say for drinks. Depending on what drinks you are after it is probably CX F of the QF lounge. AA is a good choice if you want fast WiFi tho.

Last time I was there, for me the AA FL options were preferable than those available in CX FL.

Having posted that, it is a fine line and a definite YMMV.

Last time passing through LHR T3 at about 10AM, I was initally denied entrance to the F CX lounge, do to ostensible overcrowding. I went over and looked and came back to the desk irate, as it was not even 50% full. I eventually got in my pressing my case for a good five minutes, in an increasingly louder fashion. Not proud of the behavior but I really wanted the F section, which I was entitled to.

This was a year ago. I'll be passing through at the same time of the day (mid to late morning) in early January. Should I expect a similar obstacle from the lounge dragons?

that’s very unusual. I haven’t heard many reports of that happening before, and it’s certianly not happened to me. I am sure you’ll be fine. If you have a chance please post how it goes.

I will. There is an 11:20 LHR-LAX flight, which is why 10:20 or so was protected. I'll give it a try as I thought the food was best.

Got in to CX F lounge at 9;45 without problem, But was not impressed with the dim sum or the fruit plate (in contrast to prior meals). Noodles were good.
