While we deplaned at terminal 3 at London Heathrow, we had to go to Terminal 5 at the same airport.
As a reminder, here is the itinerary followed:
Connection process
Leaving the jetbridge, we followed the London Heathrow connections route, marked in purple, to catch the shuttle bus to terminal 5. When we arrived at the gate for this shuttle, it was boarding, but would soon be full: never mind, the next one was waiting just behind, and we were on our way to terminal 5 less than 3 minutes later.
After a good fifteen minutes wandering around the airport, we arrived at the arrivals area of terminal 5.
From then on, we continued our connecting circuit, using the Fast Track to clear security formalities, and were airside again in just a few minutes.
Location and welcome
The British Airways Concorde Room is located alongside the Galleries South lounges, and can be accessed directly from the security checkpoint, by turning right after it. A discreet, unmarked door, controlled by an agent, gives access to the lounge. The welcome was cordial but not particularly warm.
Lounge design
The design of the lounge has not changed since my last visit, and you can find the review in my previous report.
Catering
The Concorde Room offers a range of food and beverages served exclusively on demand. We had breakfast, my wife ordered the English Breakfast while I settled for toast and a mimosa with Laurent Perrier Grand-Siècle. Champagne that will flow freely until we left the lounge.
Bottom line
An excellent stay in a lounge that remains solid, without really being with First markers.
