  We were in t5b a few weeks ago and it looked like they’d already replaced a lot of the seating. Don’t recall the carpets. Part of the reason t5s gets so hot is because they are yet to swap out the old halogen spot bulbs which get ridiculously hot. And inefficient of course. Swapping those would help alleviate the heat issue and save a few bob.

  Shurely that prose would have given the clue to the quality of the wine.

  “… boasts a delicate Provençal pink hue, spoiling customer with sun-kissed creamy flavours of peach and raspberries, with refreshing citrus undertones and a smooth, dry finish.”

  I mean shurely this just states “Runnnn” ?

    Even more so as they state “spoiling customer” – I guess there won’t be more than one or is that a typo?

  When was the last time you saw a BA uniformed staffer serving a bottle of plonk in the LHR lounges?
  BA has even lower paid staff to do that, perhaps not marketing fluff image worthy though.

    Comparing the staff at the Virgin Clubhouse in their uniforms vs the staff in the BA Lounge who (through no real fault of their own) cannot provide the same level of service is quite eye opening.

      Well, in BA, they’d struggle to find someone capable of smiling.

  Re,Lounge refurbishments at T5, The lounge will be open but there will be a reduced capacity making it worse than ever during busy times, BA could not have timed it any better with the 31days of security strikes between June and August if there’s no settlement…

  Idea! The striking security staff should be replaced with border force staff and border force staff should be replaced with NHS receptionists, Then let’s see who gets in!!!!

  Historically, BA lounge ‘refreshes’ have taken place over night with zero disruption, just a section done at a time.

  Since there is talk about lounges. Turned away at bristol 1903 at 1pm as they was closing (was told Priority Pass would have got us in) & the other lounge full due to a combination of delays & that tour operator giving away lounge access.

  Belfast lounge is currently a dump: the sockets at the far end of the room don’t work, the food is inferior to that available in the cafés outside and the hostesses only tidy up on the hour or when you point it out.

    It’s currently being rebuilt, that’s why! What you see is only about 30% of the space. Builders are working around it!
