BA "First Class" Lounge at ORD
At about T-40, we did adieu to the wonderful staff in First Dining and the Terraces Lounge and walked across the corridor to the "First Class" lounge. What a pathetic excuse for a lounge... small and cramped with limited food and booze offerings. Most of the pax using this lounge weren't traveling First tonight, but gained access from a strange OW Emerald benefit... FCL access when traveling on any OW carrier in any class.

Nice view of Etihad though.

The only reason to use this lounge is as a boarding gate. Mercifully, boarding commenced within three minutes after we arrived.
Next: BA296F ORD-LHR. Great service, comfy ride, so-so food, horrid wines.
