Forums Frequent flyer programs British Airways Club Avios redemption – multiple classes

  • 14 posts

    Hi All, with the recent changes to the exec club I thought I’d dump off a load of Avios by booking flights to Barbados for my family in the summer hols.

    As a treat I took the one and only First redemption for my wife. My daughter are in club and my son (15) is in premium. We’re spread around the plane due to Avios availability and my son is quite excited about having his own space away from us for once (he’s hardly slumming it after all)!

    When it comes to lounge access in T5 I’m a little confused as to how this will work as I’m Gold so have access to the first wing with a guest. My wife will also have access with her ticket but can she bring a guest through (I.e my son ok his premium ticket)? Can she also guest him into the concorde lounge? I assume me and my daughter would need to stay in the First or club lounge. Any advice would be appreciated.

    Your thinking is correct. You get one guest in the First lounge, the wife gets one guest in the CCR. So you can all go through the First wing together.

    With an F ticket she can guest one person into the lounges.

    You could guest your son into the Galleries lounge with your daughter, then join your wife in the CCR. Just my thoughts 😂

    As @NothernLass says, dump them in Galleries! Assuming you kids are sensible you can relax for a while in CCR. Hopefully they have the LPGS (it really is good!). Though my wife would say dump the OH in the First lounge and take your daughter to CCR!
