LHR T3 lounge crawl Saturday 6 June 2026

[Mickeyc747]

I will be coming in on EK1 on the 4th of June

Staying at Park Hyatt London River Thames.

Going on BA372 to TLS on the 6th. Am WP.

Also, I have a funny feeling the following year’s run will be in BKK haha. JL, CX, WY, QR lounges aplenty!

BA 372 is cancelled

Now eyeing up a side trip to Tallinn

We have been able to sort out our side trip to Tallinn, now connecting via HEL on the AY flight that departs at 00:20 to TLL. I figured it was easier to take the 30 minute fight at zero dark hundred rather than to overnight in HEL. We will be catching the ferry back to HEL a few days later.

Nothing like a midnight AT7 ...

Stuggart also an option for a later departure, although getting a bit paranoid now re BA cancelling flights.

To help with planning purposes, what time are people planning to arrive?

Well I did predict it. My option of Stutgart is out BA have just cancelled all flights there.

BKK QR lounge is moving and the new one looks like being ready end of this year or early next year. Once it moves to the satellite terminal only those departing from the satellite terminal can use it sadly

Welcome to the Budapest express. There’s a couple of us on that flight. I’m also a TLS refugee.

Maybe it's time I emerge from under my many year hiatus from here and join (seeing as I live over that side of the world now). Have to figure out flights but put me as a maybe

So a definite maybe, then?

So a definite maybe, then?

I'd say 50% chance at present, not sure on a few things

 

[serfty]

There's plenty of space on the BUD express.

I considered changing from LHR-HEL to LHR-BUD-HEL (Hel next day).

Hmm ...

6pm departure after crawl to get to sleep by midnight with 24 hours before departing HEL

v

9pm departure after crawl to get to sleep by 1am with needing to catch midday flight to HEL.

The latter at a cost of 5K QFF points ±$

I stayed at the BUD Ibis styes last week - its fine, if not exe, for Hungary.

Nah - I'll get airside at T3 LHR before Noon and board after 5pm.

 

[serfty]

I was at T3 for a BA flight to BUD last week.

Key notes:

- After 11am CX lounge empties for 2+ hours (no flights).
- AA lounges close 4pm
- QF only upstairs open until mid afternoon.
- BA has a QR code ordering system - didn't try the menu.

I suggest hit CX early, then AA, wander through QF on the way to BA and then whatever.

Thanks serfty. So CX OK, even after recent kerfuffle.

Thanks serfty. So CX OK, even after recent kerfuffle.

I had no issue getting a table/meal at midday. Of course what's true now may not be so in 6 months. Suggest keeping an eye on flight schedules.

Note that last week after around 5pm, CX had three departures in an hour and a half.
