After a first flight on Air France, I head, in a self-connecting way, to Heathrow terminal 5.

As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:

Ground course and connection circuit

My feeder flight, on Air France, arrived at Heathrow terminal 3. My BA flight leaves from terminal 5, so I have to take a shuttle bus to get there.

The queue is long and I have to wait a good 20 minutes before I can get to my bus.

Once I arrive at terminal 5, I head for the Fast Track of the connecting course, which actually leads to the classic north security line, not even Fast. Lame!

After waiting a good 15 minutes, I am finally airside!

Location

The lounge is located in the T5 southern lounge complexwhich includes the Galleries South, the First Class Lounge (mainly for Gold and First of other airlines) and the Concorde Room (for genuine First Class Passengers, and BA Gold Guest List – the highest BA status). It is therefore accessible through this main entrance, but a back door (nicknamed The billionaire’s door) allows discreet access to it just to the right of the Fast Track South security control exit.

Lounge design

The design of the lounge has not changed since my last visit in March: various spaces, more or less private, are offered, as well as two dining areas, one inside, very cosy, and the other on the terrace, full of light: this is where I will settle down.

Catering

In this exclusive lounge, there is no buffet: waiters circulate throughout the lounge at the disposal of the customers to order.

At the time of my visit, it was the breakfast menu that was still on offer, a very extensive menu.

I would choose the fresh fruit which would be good, I didn’t like the pancakes which were a bit dry.

Bottom line

An experience that is always pleasant, as it is accompanied by Laurent Perrier Grand Siècle. But this is a far cry from the gastronomic cuisine offered by Air France…
