Fireplaces (the 2nd one with moving projected art above)
The selection of alcohol in the bar is much less than that available in the FRA LH FCL let alone the FRA LH FCT. The waiting staff in the CCR were very nice and friendly - coming up to us asking whether we wanted drinks; and even giving phaleesy a mini-tour of what's available.
The menu for eating in the general lounge areas, i.e. not the dining booths where you can have a complete meal

Cabana 1 (locked and/or in use ?)
Cabana 2 (out of service)
The other entrance to the Concorde Room (the long way round past the shops)
The lounge was very quiet and empty - no doubt due to most of BA's longhauls still operating out of the other terminals.
The Concorde Room is a nice lounge but it seems that more effort/money was spent on Galleries First which looks much more arty and unique.
phaleesy (who's now been to both the CCR and the SIN T3 SKL F) thinks that the SKL F is much more impressive (although her personal preference is for the CCR's understated simple (but expensive) decor).Last edited by jhm; 1 May 2008, 06:46 PM.

I am speechless. This Concorde Lounge is very nice. It makes the SKL F in T3 looks like a shed. SQ should be ashamed for not putting a lot of effort into in its new F lounge. When is SQ going to learn?
By the way, is BA Premier the same as Solitaire or it is higher up in BA tier?

I think it does look nice especially whilst it is so empty will have to see how crowded it gets once all the longhaul flights have moved to T5
BA Premier is the high level for BAEC and is by invitation only, you need to be a celeb or be the budget holder of one of BA large corporate customers to get an invite.
