Hi All. I am guessing no-one will be any further forward with this but....
I have a QR flight to Doha at 9am on Tues 14th June from LHR. From the above it seems that this will be QR's first day back in T4 (so I guess expect some chaos.....)
I am BA silver / Oneworld Sapphire, but am travelling in economy on this flight. I was wondering if:
- Any QR lounge will be open at T4
- If so, will I have access
- if not, any other alternatives
If anyone has any info, it would be most gratefully received.
I have called QR a couple of times, but the phone operatives are useless. They do not even know if there is a QR lounge at T4. Websites (oneworld, QR, Heathrow) are not particularly informative either.
Thanks

There was a film crew as we de-planed, so my guess is there will be some fun in the departure lounge too.

Just got through immigration.
Huge queues in economy to check in and decent sized for business.
Only 2 lanes open for standard security checks.
Lounge quite busy actually considering there's only 2 flights departing soon.
P. S. Took a shower but it clearly hasn't been used in a while, it spluttered like bojo when asked about party-gate

There was a separate area for a la carte dining, not sure if that was there previously.
It did look quite small though and can easily fill up with 2 flights closer together I would imagine.

Coming in the other direction, 35 mins from plane to tube, and that's with having one of the last bags off the conveyor from a packed A380. Obviously bigger challenges lie ahead, but I expected it to be far worse.
All egates open and a seemingly healthy supply of immigration officers.

Hey all, someone posted re the new T4 lounge on FB
https://www.facebook.com/groups/busi...091/?fs=e&s=cl
According to this there are two QR lounges now at T4
- Premium lounge for J pax ( same as before)
- A brand new “Frequent flyers” lounge for status pax
so it seems that the pics that have been circulating around is of the new Silver/Gold lounge rather than a refurbished Premium lounge?
the QR website now lists (just got updated today I think) the following:
- LHR Qatar Airways Frequent Flyer Lounge
Business and Higher / Silver and Higher. Customer Holding FFP Silver tier and Higher with their eligible guest Customer Holding FFP Sapphire and Higher with their eligible guest
- Qatar Airways Premium Lounge
Business and Higher
From OW website too:

Its a bit confusing as to where we will end up. We are OW Emerald but have tickets in J. However because when I booked the ticket way back, it was terminal 5 and booked without lounge access (L) as we would get access to that BA First lounge. Then Qatar cancelled and rebooked us and it now is ticketed as C so I'm not sure what the check-in people will use. Then of course this week it moved back to T4.
