Lounge hopping at Heathrow T3

As long planned, Anna and I made full use of a delightful loophole in the lounge access policy at Heathrow’s Terminal 3 when flying to Gothenburg. By booking Club Europe seats for just 15,000 miles each plus 14 SEK in taxes, we were able to visit, in turn, the Qantas, Cathay Pacific, and Centurion lounges. We began with an Australian brunch: a smoked aubergine salad with zaatar cauliflower, baby spinach, broccolini, and a poached egg, followed by salt and pepper squid with green chili and aioli. Paired with a sparkling wine from South Australia, we were instantly transported across continents.

Served with a sparkling wine from South Australia, I was in true lounge heaven even before heading over to Cathay Pacific in time for the lunch departure to Hong Kong. Picking up some Korean fried rice at the bar to go with a Layton’s Brut Reserve champagne that was simply divine. I both cannot recommend this loophole enough – and urge you not to spread the word too widely. This is an unbelievable way to fly home to Sweden after an ultra weekend adventure in the UK.
