LHR British Airways -
LHR BA Lounges - Kosher food is available at BA's lounges as follows:
T5/T3 Galleries Club: Bagel/panini and/or soup.
T5/T3 Galleries First: Main course, usually a choice of salmon, chicken stir fry or meat balls (sometimes changed to spaghetti bolognaise).
T5 Concorde Room (CCR): Same as First, but they will also bring soup from the Club lounge if asked, and can also do a plate of plain smoked salmon (with a slice of lemon) on request. Just make sure you stress that you ONLY want the smoked salmon, otherwise they will bring cooked cherry tomatoes or other stuff with it. They will also mix cocktails using Grey Goose vodka instead of the non-kosher Ciroc (Bloody Mary and Cosmopolitan) if asked. The staff in the CCR are very helpful.
Galleries First and the CCR also have a kosher breakfast option: omelette or 'frittata' with stuff which is supposed to make it look like a "full English Breakfast" - meaning it has a couple of rather poor Tivall sausages included. But the rest of the stuff is OK.
The arrivals lounge only carries the kosher breakfast.
Plain salted Kettle chips are kosher. If you want any for the flight ask at the lounge as they only carry two non-kosher flavored version on the aircraft. Also, in the CCR you need to ask at the bar for them in the packet otherwise they will (helpfully) open the bag into a pretty china bowl for you.
To get a kosher meal in the Galleries lounges you need to get one of the servers and ask them to check what kosher meals are available. In the Concorde Room (CCR) you go to the dining area reception desk and ask there, or you can ask at the bar, or indeed ask any of the staff who tend to float around. If you want soup in the CCR they may well tell you that they don't have kosher soups - they are not 100% wrong there because they don't store any of the kosher soup in their kitchen (which is shared with Galleries First). However, if you ask them to check with their supervisor whether they can bring it for you from the Galleries Club lounge they will always manage to arrange it.
LHR El Al contract lounge: BLUSH
LHR Virgin Atlantic ClubHouse, Hermolis meals and kosher wine
MAD Priority Pass T4S Neptuno had kosher meals on request (salami sandwiches, pasta salad, cake) with local Hechsher.
MUC KSML available with pre-request to Lufthansa.
SIN Singapore Airlines Private Room (Hermolis). KSML is available here only if requested 4 hours in advance per the waiter.
SYD Qantas First Lounge - available on advance request (Lewis KSML). Call CS and ask to be put through to the F lounge.
TLV Dan Lounges (not mehadrin/heter mechira).
TLV King David Lounge (mehadrin/shmita l'chumra).
YYZ KLM Lounge (terminal 3). Gradzinski Sandwiches are available before LY flights on Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. And in Air Canada Signature lounge (terminal 1) hot kosher meals from Toronto Kosher are available but they need about half an hour to heat them up.

At The Wing, can business passengers request KSML also?

How do I pre-request KSML for SIN (flying F) and you also mentioned (found on an OMaaT comment on the FRA-JFK TR in SQ F) you were able to get kosher champagne and/or wine in F - how do you go about doing this, can't find thread here

Someone has a one time United Club pass that I can have.  I am flying through LHR next week. I land at 8 PM in terminal 5 and leave the next day at 10 AM from terminal 3.  I am still not sure where I am staying or anything like that. Trying to do it as cheaply as possible.

What does the United Club have it in? Kosher food? It says online it closes at 10 PM and is in terminal 2. Will I have time to get there at all? (if theres food there, i'd shlep there to get it :))

This pass wont help me with hotels, right? And do I need to be flying with United to use it (cuz I'm not ;))

(If you can't tell, I'm new to this! Thanks!)

You can use a food delivery app to order kosher food to wherever you are in LA. UberEats has Dr. Sandwich, while many other kosher options are available on Postmates.

I haven't tried ordering it to the airport proper, but don't see why it would be any different than any other delivery.

You don't need a boarding pass to access the Art & Lounge.

Good to know, didn't actually try without one. Though I have been to a different PP pre security, that requested a bp to be presented.

did you notice that the post is 6 months old
So what, the information could still help someone.
