LHR T3 lounge crawl Saturday 6 June 2026

Only if you work out how to get T4 in there as well!

I asked about T4 on FT and got a resounding no to access from either T3 or T5. It looks like the only possibility is holding a T5 BP *may* get access to T3. No other permutations possible.

Yes, I can imagine! Hence my joke.

Having read the TR, I was as surprised as everyone else that getting between and terminals airside was possible. It might be a loop hole because BA operates between T3 and T5?

Actually to save rushing T5 in the morning, what about an afternoon flight on Saturday, followed by a morning flight back on Sunday. Even on separate tickets, we could then stay airside and transit.

Maybe EDI/DUB/BHD/JER to avoid the departure tax.

I have no idea where I'll be, silver for now.

The 'planning' spreadsheet has begun - 2 years out! Never come close to that before.

Hoping to do a Shetland/Faroe islands cruise ex EDI just before it

Colour me silver. Might see what Mr Katie is up to as well. Though he usually goes to France around Tour time,not sure about two trips to Europe in a month or two!

Or just one long trip!

A little off topic. At TR on FT where a person visited 14 LHR lounges in 1 day in T3 & T5 on day trip NCL-LHR and into London.

Aussie by nature but not by birth

Whomever is being super organised, a ‘must do’ to add to the list. Must check the CX departure times. I couldn’t get into the Cathay lounges this afternoon because they had reserved them for Cathay passengers only due to capacity.
