It took me about 5 mins to walk from Gate 31 to the Chelsea Lounge in Terminal 8. The lounge dragons welcomed me in. It seemed a lot quieter than it was on my outbound, last Fri.

Approaching the T8 premium check-in area, I noticed the First Class check-in area to the right hand side, so I decided I would give it a try.

It was a great feeling to walk from the AA inbound flight straight into a nice suite of lounges, where I could wait for my BA flight back to Heathrow.

The AA Flagship Lounge attendants recognised me. It's really nice when you get some personal interaction with the lounge team.
