LHR T3 lounge crawl Saturday 6 June 2026

[JessicaTam]

Reading the threads and 2 years in the making. In the famous words ‘what could go possibly go wrong’ I guess we will back to Asia (some location) next year.

LHR is definitely a one-off.

Asia next year.

I am pulling out. See you all in Darwin/Adelaide!

 

[Sprucegoose]

I have managed to book BA870, so I will see you all there.

What is the earliest I can check a bag on BA in Terminal 3? I hope there is more flexibility than CX in NRT.

Just to revisit this post from earlier this year ...

Of course, nothing but the best for @Sprucegoose, if they desire thay can have their baggage collected from their London doorstep and checked-in. Allowing travel to the airport luggage-free and heading straight to security.

I am really starting to wonder whether this will go ahead for many of us. At what point do you need to be sensible and say from x date it is unlikely I will be able to get home from Europe. And of course what is the magical x date.

Being aware that everyone's risk tolerance is different, I plan on going unless flights are cancelled. However, I am not booked via the middle East.

I'm on a Qantas oneworld award including MH KUL to LHR and resume the award BUD-HEL-HKG. I have a separate booking on BA to BUD.

If there are flight disruptions and any reaccommodation offerred does not suit, only then would I consider abandoning this.

Likewise I fully intend to be there, and my flights don't involve the Middle East. Unless there are fuel shortages and/or cancellations, or something unforeseen, I'll be there.

 

[JessicaTam]

I will be there. I have a flight from YUL to MAD via DOH but that can be rerouted.

 

[Lowjhg]

Okay, edit: I haven't actually cancelled the LHR-PRG and am back on the fence wrt coming.

There's a really cheap QR business lite fare ex SIN right now to LHR and that's making my mouth water.

I'm on Oman Air, so looking forward to some frisson on approach and departure from MCT.

So, what about what time are people thinking of starting off? I'm training in from Manchester, first to Paddington, then to LHR T4 (pick up stored bag), then T3.

I arrive from VLC on BA 407 at 12.55 so will be settling into a lounge shortly after that

To optimise likelyhood of CX lounge access, arriving soon after their 77W departs at 12:20pm would seem reasonable (their next flight is 5pm).
