*G LHR - Additional guest in lounge

Hi all

Myself, my partner and her mother are departing on a Swiss Air flight from Heathrow T2 in April. I'm *G and my partners mother is *S.

Was just wanting to know is there anyway to get all three of us into a lounge before we depart? I don't mind paying for an additional guest, but I'm not sure which lounges allow that.

I do not believe that any of the *A lounges at LHR T2 allow paid access but I may be wrong. Which *A is the mother? If she is FTL with LH then she can access the Business lounge (at which point you may wish to take her through to the SEN lounge.

LH sells access for additional guests to *G/SEN but its a pain. Premium Plaza charges 35/Person for acccess: https://www.plaza-network.com/locati...rt&city=London

T2 eateries are atrociously expensive, but 35 buys a lot there.

Two (not very good) double G&Ts at Caviar House as I found out last week when my travelling companion refused to go to the SEN lounge. He paid.

Buy a UC pass on eBay (if you still have time for that).

Based on that page only M&M FTL/SEN/HON members can pay a few to bring in additional guests; no mention of *G members. Since the OP lists NZ*G in their profile, are you sure they can pay the (ridiculusly high) fee?

Eligible customers can pay a fee of 25GBP/person for additional guests at the AC MLL:

However, the location in T2B isn't particularly convenient when departing from T2A and I would only consider that option during a long layover.

I was going to tell OP the same.

But he is out of luck if the mother has other *S.

Unless they get help with guesting.

I am not very fammiliar with LH policies,but is it actually available at LHR? because this is what the link you supplied says.

Companions of Frequent Travellers can choose between the Lufthansa Business Lounges in Germany, Paris CDG and the USA, and the Welcome Lounge at Frankfurt Airport. Costs for one-time access are 25 euros or 35 US dollars per person for the Business Lounges and 50 euros or 70 US dollars for the Welcome Lounge.
