QF2 First LHR-DXB - Best Lounge @ LHR?

Will do

I'm guessing that QF check-in only opens 3 hours prior? To maximize hopping time of course

I'm on QF10 in a couple of weeks and can't recall off the top of my head. I think it's 4 hours but will ask at check-in.

LHR for QF2 opens 5 hours prior. Well it did Tuesday when I flew and got to the airport early.

Apologies if mentioned above (didn't see it) but CX is NOT an option at LHR T3 unless the OP is flying after June.

Cathay Pacific First and Business Class lounges at London Heathrow Airport are closed for renovation from 26 November 2015 and will be reopened in late June 2016.

Good pickup. Hope it's open by the time we fly :-|

Wonder if it'll give the EK lounge a run? Looking forward to first reviews (and checking it out for myself later this year).

Spent my time In the BA lounge for some peace and quiet- the helpful Qantas staff at check in told me there was about 5 EK flights leaving and the lounge would be super busy.

My first F class experience- i only wish that flight was longer! Such heavenly sleep at 35000ft....

Has anyone been to the EK lounge in LHR after the renovation last year?
Looks like the format and offering is still similar to "normal" EK lounges:

I have been to the new EK lounge, its the best lounge at T3. Don't bother with the other choices unless you have heaps of time.

BA has a separate dining area for passengers flying in F. When T5 opened it ceased to have a dedicated F menu and reverted to the standard menu throughout the lounge. I am not sure what the current situation is because BA has moved some long haul flights back to T3, so if you are in BA F it is a markedly different experience compared to T5 which has the CCR. (You'd hope that BA would have at least improved the dining room experience at T3.) It has been a while since I flew QF and through T3 but my preference was The BA F Lounge - a bit more space and a very good wine and spirits collection.

I plan on giving myself PLENTY of time
