So today is my first time in first class and as a result I am sitting in the Concord Room in T5.

First Class check in was very pleasant.
The long walk from Sofitel to Zone J is worth it as heading to Concord Room on other side of security is tough.

A very warm welcome and introduction from the reception team.


It's a pleasant enough space but no Clubhouse.

Some silly service niggles:

- porridge ordered for breakfast was delivered at same time as cooked breakfast.
- cooked breakfast order taken incorrectly
- trying to summon staff as they rush past is annoying


I'm aware that these are minor niggles in the big scheme of things; it annoys me because they are so close to perfect and to miss it on this little things is sad.

Still, I haven't had a full walk round yet.

What a pity the service isn't up to scratch.
Its over 20 years ago when I was last in the Concorde room , flying Concorde to Barbados in under 4 hours.
Enjoy you first trip in 1st class and I hope the inflight service well be much better than you have experienced on the ground.

I've only been in the CCR once and found it bland and soulless with, like you, distinctly average service.

I guess it's perfect for BA's target First customer but I was very disappointed and actually preferred the Flounge.

The JFK CCR, however, was much better - largely because it's much quieter. Still not a patch on the Clubhouse though!

Sorry you are underwhelmed by the Concorde Room. Hope things improve on the flight !
Have a great time and enjoy Canada.

Enjoy the lounge, I hope the niggles iron out and service improves. Have a lovely flight and safe onward travels.
