Can I just check the latest status of the ALC Lounge please. Now Silver, travelling on one PNR, in Y on Avios ticket, with SWMBO who is Silver.
Is Fast Track available to me? And SWMBO too?
Lounge same question (I am assuming normal OW rules apply) but wanted to check.

I'm heading to ALC in half an hour, so I can check if BA shows up on the board if you like? I'm BA Gold travelling VY on a BA ticketed PNR, but the BA Gold lounge benefit flying on VY when BA ticketed relates to BA lounges only. I have PP, so will be using the same lounge BA is meant to use.
PS just corrected typo in my post - SWMBO from Silver to Bronze

PSA Lounge
Just to update the thread as there's nothing in awhile. Currently at the Pisa lounge on the first floor of the airport. No problem getting in, showed boarding pass and GC. Fairly small space but clean and comfortable. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Just did a day trip which worked well and was a lot of fun.

Its alright for a quick drink before your flight - right around the corner from the (usual) BA gate but dont expect to get fed there.

It is a really good lounge by outstation standards. I do think the food doesn't quite live up to the surroundings and drink selection. Bit stodgy but and lacking in smaller bites I suppose it is Austria

Sanity check here please.
I have just arrived in J on Qatar QR131 on a DOH - FCO flight
I have an onward flight in a few hours on BA557 FCO LHR in Y. I only have Ruby status, si I can't get into the lounge based on status.
My understanding is that the BA FCO lounge should count as a one world lounge and I should be granted access based upon the same day international long haul OW flight, but the lounge attendant isn't having it.
Anything I can reasonably do, other than pay for access and try to send the bill to BA?
