With luggage or carry on only as well?

The counters opened 4 hours before departure. I'm not sure whether you would be able to go through earlier if you checked in online and had no checked bags. Maybe it's possible?

A friendly reminder for those planning to come along that the booking window for flights will be opening soon.

And make sure again that it departs from T3.

What is the general consensous on departure times - the late night flights back to Asia and Australia? I will be going somewhere in Europe, so don;t worry, not competing for your FF seats

Budapest ...

That is where I am thinking too.

Am looking at options as the booking windows open. Can get to LON a few days earlier; Being Finnair's home, HEL may be a better destination for a oneworld booking. Last flight on AY currently 6pm'ish ...

Something to note

Planned BA T5/T3 Lounges "transformational change" 2026 - FlyerTalk Forums

British Airways | The British Airways Club - Planned BA T5/T3 Lounges "transformational change" 2026 - As part of their press release about the new SEA lounge BA have said: The airline’s lounges across London Heathrow Terminal 3 and 5 will be undergoing significant transformational changes...

Seems there may be plans afoot to amalgamate oneworld lounges at T3 - this from a BA staffer on that thread back in February.

However, "The OX is slow, but the earth is patient" - likely not going to affect this social event.

Considering how quickly BA and LHR operate, I reckon we are safe.
