CP Business Class Lounge 18th December 2024. Thank you!

I'd like to ask BA what exactly is "traditional" about 'turkey bacon' for breakfast? Is this another British 'tradition' that is being 'updated for modern audiences'. Yeh! I get it pork will be banned to cater for...

Agree that BA First seat is not a big upgrade from BA Club Suites. Food and service are maybe a bit better. Certainly not worth the hike in price. There are occasional First class deals that are much lower than $6K. Would be more interesting to film the Concorde Lounge rather than a walk from lounge to gate. Sorry to say but the background music was awful.

Thanks for this review. I just booked at a great discount offered by the hotel.

Very good comparison. I traveled this month with Finnair in premium economy between Helsinki and Tokyo for the outward and return journey and I was very disappointed especially on the return journey by the quality of the food served, especially the starter, the dessert for the main meal but also by the breakfast for the return flight. Even if the seat was ok, I think that next time I will prefer an Asian company to return to Asia in premium economy

Thank you for the great review. We're going to use the CP business lounge in October so this has made it seem even more exciting.

The music??????

BA have probably some of the best meals I have tasted in the air!

I'm on my third visit to the Concorde Room this year for leisure purposes. I've been using this lounge since 2009 so have seen the many changes throughout the years, but the dining booths and toilets are still the same. I was also lucky to use the Concorde Room in Terminal 4 and also at JFK in Terminal 7. My record for using the lounge is 15.5. hours as I checked in at 5am when it opens and usually get the place to myself for at least 15 minutes. It's an also a great place to spot a celebrity. I'm glad that the cabanas have now re-opened having being closed for 4 years. The food and drink in the lounge is fantastic and you can continue the drinks theme in the First cabin.

Dreadful music, awful commentary and camera work. You need a new line of work.

I agree! There should be a separate was for first to get to the gate.

Clickbait. As a tier point runner if you pay $6000 for first you are doing something wrong. I paid £2200 and £3100 the latter being a ticket to Cancun both originating in London.

The lounge is fantastic and I've been lucky enough to see it almost completely empty and enjoy brunch and the dinning next to the nose cone, before my connecting flight. Shame this wasn't touched on in the video, but it's some of the most comfortable seating I've ever come across in a lounge anywhere in the world. I flew First from LAX, and the BA/Quantas lounge wasn't a patch on the Concorde Room, although JFK was excellent and matches Heathrow T5's quality). The terrace couches are the same, extremely comfortable and the staff served me instantly rather than have to go up to the union coffee bar to get a coffee - they also have a great selection of teas that the staff will also serve to you at your table (regardless of this being a comfy sofa, or at one of the tables next to the nose cone). The bar is staffed by friendly bar tenders and I still haven't come across a cocktail they won't make on request. The other thing that's a huge plus is getting rid of your luggage while you're there - you'll get a wooden (occasionally plastic) fob, so if you want to go shopping in the excellent duty free around T5, just walk through Millionaires Door (looking like a boss), and get ready to shop baggage free (except anything you come back with of course, but you can just drop that in the luggage storage). Impressively, even though I arrived at 5am, the lounge was fully staffed. By it's nature it's never busy - that due to the incredibly few BA Premier Club and Gold Guest List members as well as having 8 seats per flight that are first class. Sadly it's the transitions like to the aircraft where you'll leave your bubble of First tranquility. There will be a few flights that have to take the dreaded shuttle bus, and as noted in the video, there's no Elmis Spa. Given British Airways' massive renovations underway, maybe this will come back in some form and better sleeping facilities than the pods, but overall, a big jump in comfort than the First Lounge (yes the Concorde Room is the true first class lounge, but the First Lounge at Heathrow is still a little step up from Business, which was already a good lounge) this is available to BA Gold members, who get to use the wing and there's numerous videos online showing how quick and seamless it is to breeze through the First Wing check in and security check, which comes with far more updated scanners that don't require you to take your liquids or electronics out of your bag. Although I'm not sure she'll appreciate being filmed, the woman sleeping on the couches pretty much sum up the place.

Great video to show the overall facility of the lounge. Going to fly soon and cant wait to visit this lounge

Too full for some Cheese & Port? Food looked good however. Still a grail to travel First while it is still around.

Why u need more power points? U can use only one equickment same time? Mobile or laptop.

We just love this lounge. As the wife & myself are both GGL we get to use this lounge even when flying coach. Drink selection is great and the dining is devine. We always try to get a seat on the terrace before dining. Is there a better lounge I don't know.

May I know which first class lounge is the best in terms of special facilities ? Like sauna in front of the airport

Great to see my homeland featured in your video.

🎉😮h

Hello. I noticed your seat was 23A on Premium Economy. How much of a recline were you able to get being that there is a wall behind you? I'm currently booking a flight to Helsinki and wondering if I should go with seat 23C so that there is no one behind me or seat 21 for the extra leg room. Thanks!

Thanks for the upload. As someone whose business is hospitality, I know the personal contact/attention is vital. Automatic check in is a negative. I’d rate this hotel a decent but not special 4* Btw. Visitors don’t consider the “City” as the centre of London. In fact the vast majority don’t even get to that area. If you’re not a local the actual term “City” is very confusing.😁

Do you get access to the club room if you have a Deluxe Room ?

Thanks that was a very enjoyable video 👍

Thanks for sharing. Qantas rather than Quantas FYI

I actually prefer the old business class seat to the new “no recline” seat. I found it more comfortable.

Good video. So 2x(40+140+140+140) TPs = 920 in total. £1.32 per TP is excellent value! Of course there's additional costs - positioning to/from Budapest, hotels/food etc. but even so, still very good value. Post-Covid the benchmark seems to be around £2/TP just for flights. As for AA etc, I find it ridiculous that internal flights of 6 hours in "First" don't give lounge access! And the FAs...well can be pleasant, can be miserable. Whereas BA FAs are, in my experience, always top notch.

LUXURY TRIP REPORTS...WHAT A JOKE. Just another ignorant/'only here to make money' UA-camr. When you could not be bothered doing BASIC research with the spelling of QANTAS I immediately stopped viewing.

I find this video very strange indeed. At the beginning of the video you show an aircraft bearing the Malev livery. This airline ceased operating in 2012. For me, you have lsot all credibility now.

Thanks for the review, shame you didn’t show the food offering from the table service

Great video. I love it when travel videos are comprehensive and focus on the travel bit. Subbed and looking forward to binging the rest of your vids!

I’ve travelled from Paddington to Cornwall on the sleeper and was most impressed, very comfortable, a nice cocktail bar and simple but adequate breakfast. Highly recommend it as it’s half the cost of a budget hotel in London.

I am planning a trip to London in 2024 and have been strongly considering Hotel 41. Do you think it is a good choice for a first time visitor to the city? I like the smaller, boutique hotels, that have excellent customer service. I thought this particular spot might be a good choice.

Sad to see Concorde left to rot at the end of the runway rather than on display & a status symbol for what BA once was.

what was the cost of the run in the end?

Forgot to subscribe. I have now 🙂

I remember when an excellent TP run was available for £1000 to Maui. Sadly, those days are long gone

Great video 😊

Recently travelled on the sleeper from padd to Penzance a great trip a really great way to travel

Thanks for the upload. I have to say that hotel totally underwhelms me. The roof terrace is very small and boring. I guess it was the service that impressed you most and of course I can’t comment on that. It’s obviously got something going for it hence the good reviews.

Flagship dining at LAX closed during Covid ;)

Was that Tupolev TU-154 at 1:23 a museum Piece, since Malev Airlines no longer exists?

I stayed here last week. Great hotel.
