BA Lounge in Narita, Toyko

[funkyr]

I'm travelling BA from Narita to London on Business Club World.

Does BA have a lounge in Narita Terminal 1? Oneworld . com seems to think so but I cant find anything on the BA website??

Thanks in advance.

Hi Funkyr

Have a look through this thread - the info in it is about 16 months old, but I believe it to still be correct:

The JL lounges have been updated in the last... months... i am not sure but i think less than 18 months.
When in NRT the only lounge i use is the JL Flounge (And J lounge before i was WP).

The BA website lists Narita as "Third party Lounge"

Note there is also a Qantas Club there, although I can't recall which terminal I was in

Qantas lounge is in the satellite part of Terminal 2.

The nice new JL lounge is in the main section of Terminal 2.

There are a few lounges in Terminal 1, including the AAdmirals Club lounge and a KE/KAL Lounge. I assume its one of these lounges that is likely to be what BA use since they depart from Terminal 1.

The passenger can only use the JL, QF or AA lounges if they have OneWorld Sapphire or Emerald status. If lounge access is only available via the BA Club World ticket, then they must use the lounge directed by BA.

It is possible to move between terminals using the train and it does not take long.

Travelling business class on a OW carrier, the passenger can use any OW lounge , same as for a OWS/OWE member other than not entitled to take a guest

Ah yes. You are correct and my information was incorrect. A business class boarding pass for a BA departure does entitle access to any OneWorld business class lounge at the departure airport.

If I'm a OW Sapphire/QFGold travelling Jetstar in starclass ex NRT can I use the JL lounge in the main terminal instead of the QP in the satellite terminal?
If not, if I was flying QF could I or would I have to be in J?

All this lounge access/inacess confuses me!

Thanks in advance

Jetstar isn't part of oneWorld, so no access to JL lounge on a Jetstar ticket. They could/should have their own lounge arrangements, and Qantas lounge will admit you if you're Club/Gold/Plat etc.

oneWorld lounge access rules are written up on this page:
oneworld - Lounge Access

As already noted, flying Jetstar you do not have access to JL lounges. But if flying with Qantas or any other OneWorld airline you do have access to any OneWorld business class lounge including JL and QF.

See if BA has an arrangement with AA, the AA lounge is wonderful, I was unimpressed with Qantas Club.

As a business class passenger travelling on a OneWorld airline (BA), the OP is able to use the AA lounge. The BA arrangement with AA is part of the OneWorld Lounge Access agreement and is available to all business and first class passengers of all OneWorld airlines and permits access to any OneWorld business or first class lounge (depending on the cabin for which you hold a boarding pass).

But I recommend using the JL lounge which in my opinion is the best lounge at NRT.

And if you have access to the first class lounge (such as having OneWorld Emerald status), then most definitely the JL First Class lounge is the best option.
