CC room access for QF first pax?

If I were to fly OSL - LHR - SIN on BA then QF with the second leg being in QF First, would I be granted access to the CC room for lunch prior to staggering off to T3 for the QF flight?

You wouldn't have access to T5 anyway in that scenario, your boarding pass would force you to go to T3 or go landside.

Nope. Flight Connections will deposit you in T3 in Heathrow.

I'm sure you'll find a very nice lunch in the lounges at T3

No for the reasons above, and even on the return you wouldn't because the Concorde Room is not a oneworld lounge.

Back in the T4 days when BA were cosier with QF, the (original) Concorde Room was open to both BA and QF First passengers.

The Qantas T3 lounge is not as nice as either BA First or Cathy First lounges. I prefer the BA one.

You will find the Cathay first class lounge in T3 to be excellent.

I have enjoyed the food there over the last 2-3 months. Especially the salmon with cous-cous. Also I’ve never had a problem with overcrowding either.

Even when QR was operating from T5 and I flew First with them I didn’t get CCR access - Despite a certain Youtuber claiming that to be the case!

Edit: Misread, thought it said QR. But still hope the above is useful anyway!
