Have a 17:40 flight and ideally would like to be in the lounge before 13:00 for some video calls.
Thanks

You can enter the First Wing and First lounge from 05:00 on the day of departure.
If you have hold luggage, will BA check you in more than 3 hours before departure?

In First and Club or with status it’s from 05:00 the day of departure.
Does the same apply to GC as a Silver member?

Am I right in thinking that only applies to Heathrow Terminal 5, not the same for Terminal 3 departures ?

I’m sure it does, we checked in 7hrs before our flight due to hotel check out times on Saturday and visited all 3 lounges.

Same at T3. I’ve had a whole day of lounge hopping before an early evening flight out.
Thank you, @Andrew J, I’m pleasantly surprised.
Expected all day check in with status to be limited to the exclusively BA operation at T5.

Thank you – I’m pleasantly surprised. Expected all-day check-in with status to be limited to the “exclusively BA” T5.
