It’s an end to the Great Oneworld LHR T3 Lounge Hop

[Larko1]

These Oneworld airlines are leaving Heathrow T3

It’s an end to the Great Oneworld Lounge Hop as airlines shift from Heathrow T3 to T4.

Oh, I like the idea of getting to the QR lounge on an AY ticket!

CZ moving to T5 which is just BA and IB is more interesting.

Very prescient @JessicaTam for scheduling the LHR T3 lounge crawl this year.

AY business ticket ...

AY business ticket ...

Not that many attendees flew AY out of T3 that day ... still BA, QF, CX, AA qualify.

Yeah this is totally bizarre IMO. Moving Finnair to T5 would have been more logical surely?

I do miss the MH T4 lounge though

I thought AY and JL don't operated their own lounge at T3? What am I not seeing?.
Just means the safari is no longer possible for AY and JL ticket holders unless they are codesharing into a T3 airline.

Weird
CZ, AY, JL have a JV with BA but then DL and VS also split up

I don’t think this will be the end of it…

Would have thought JL or AY in T5 would make more sense than China Southern

This was the third consultation round.

Of course. I was thinking of future “reindeer” route trips but of course both a J ticket and ending up beyond HEL incurs the higher UK departure tax rate…. Why I rarely fly beyond Europe ex UK these days…

For now, I guess a J CR on AY LHR-HEL should still work.
