Hi! Thanks for the review. Last year we stayed at Atlantis Palm and had club lounge access and to be honest, we only dined out elsewhere once ($200 for burgers!!) so if we were to go back I’d just make the most out of the Lounge canapés etc as they were really tasty and filling! And the kids loved it too. I’m thinking of staying here this time though, but wondering if it’s on par with Atlantis or if it’s just not something you’d think you could use in place of half board? Thank you!

Comparing this to the floor plan and other reviews, this is actually a review of the Grand King Suite, not the Grand One Bedroom Suite. Also, I think this is an accessible suite, as others you cannot access the bedroom from the 'living room' only the 'dining room.' Hope this helps, I wouldn't be happy if I counted on this, but didn't get it...

I am flying upper class to LHR back and fourth from LAX - do you know if you can hangout in the lounge after your flight? My flight is arriving 12:15pm local time an my hotel check in is at 2pm. Can I hang out in the lounge for like an hour after my flight? Thanks - Great info

Hi - sorry but no, you won’t be able to. LHR keep departures and arrivals distinctly separate and the clubhouse is in the departure side. Virgin do have an arrivals lounge at Heathrow but this closes at 12:30 so seems like you will miss that too. Sorry

Liked the video 👍 out of interest, why didn’t you just book an open jaw flight and fly home from Vegas? Lack of first availability? I done a similar trip in September there. Flew to SFO, few nights there. Then hired a car and drove to LA. Stopping off at 3 or 4 places for a night or 2 each. Then from LA drive to Vegas and spent 6 nights there. 2 nights Mandalay Bay, 4 Palazzo. Was a great trip and I would recommend the coastal drive 👍

I don’t know for certain so I would say ask at checkin for your first flight. With that said - I think your bags will be checked through automatically and you won’t see them until you arrive at your final destination 🤞BA and AA are partners and share flight codes so really think this is likely but definitely check!

If you're flying from the UK as an example, and flying to the USA with a domestic connection in the USA, you would need to exit as if you were getting out at that city. There are no flight connections for international>domestic in the USA. You clear immigration, then you *MUST* pick up your bag at reclaim, then you clear Customs. After that, you have to check in as per normal for your domestic flight. No special treatment for international>domestic flight connections. Any other questions, please feel free to ask.

If you're doing USA domestic>international, then you can follow flight connections. There is no exit immigration in the USA.

Flew BA first LHR-ATL in January on the 787-9. Concorde Lounge had sharply curtailed menu items compared to a previous pre-pandemic trip to ATL. Flight was just OK with a so-so meal, over-heated cabin and garish lighting throughout the nine hours plus evening/night flight. Conclusion? Not worth the money but I figured using an award upgrade was better than their sub-par business class. Won't do it again.
