Officially, the only people who have access to this lounge are:
Qantas - Chairmans Lounge
BA - Gold
and Passengers arriving in CW or First
All of these must be arriving on a BA long haul flight.
(Or so I am told).
However, I've seen written here and elsewhere that QF Plats get the same treatment as BA Gold's when flying a JSA flight, and possibly some others.
Now, my reasoning for asking is fairly simple. Arrived on a HKG-LHR flight after travelling WT+, tried to use the Arrivals lounge, and got the standard 'Sorry, no access because you're not in J or F'. Upon pressing the point nicely, the friendly ground staffer checked the 'cheat sheet' and still advised that I didn't have access rights.
So, exactly who has access rights to the arrivals lounge?
