CW long haul connecting to domestic Economy – T5 lounge access ?

[gavman99]

Flying long haul into T5 in CW then connecting to Edinburgh in economy. Do we still get lounge access at T5 before our Edinburgh flight ?

A few years ago when we did something similar having flown first class into T5, we were allowed into Concorde Room, so hoping something similar is still allowed.

Thanks.

As you arrive in long haul CW you have access to the arrival lounge (for a shower, etc.)

If you’re travelling in First or Club World, or are an Executive Club Gold Member travelling on a long haul flight, please feel free to visit the Galleries Arrivals Lounge.

It is situated on the first floor of the main terminal building (Terminal 5A) and can be accessed using the green lift. Here you can freshen up with an invigorating power shower, help yourself to delicious food and drink or prepare for work. The lounge is open from 05:00 to 14:00. Capacity restrictions apply so you won’t be able to bring guests into the Arrivals lounge.

While the valet service presses your suit, enjoy a complimentary treatment at the Elemis Travel Spa and leave looking as good as you feel. The Elemis Travel Spa is open from 06:00 to 14:00.

Arrival lounge is after immigration, so the OP would had to clear the security again for the domestic flight. And I think that content is outdated as Elemis Spa is no more.

Yes you do – both arrivals (should you chose to use it) but also the airside club lounges.

Keep your BPs for the CW leg to show the lounge entrance staff.

You always have to clear security when arriving from outside the UK and connecting. So if there’s enough time (depending on any LHR meltdown) they can do both arrivals lounge (for better food and possibly quieter) and then go back airside.

Elemis spa treatments definitely gone – even for F pax 😔
