Lounge options for First with overnight connection
I have a BA Flight from LBA-LHR(T5)-LHR(T3)-PHX with an overnight connection in LHR. I arrive at 15:40 in T5 on 31/05 and then depart the next day 01/06 from T3 at 14:45
All part of the same PNR and the flight to PHX is in First. I'm anticipating checking my bags through from LBA and getting my PHX boarding pass also.
I've got a hotel booked for the overnight.
I have a few lounge questions to which I think I've found answers but would like to confirm my understanding.
Upon Arriving at T5 on a domestic flight can I go through to the T5 Airside lounges? I believe not and the Arrivals lounge will be closed.
Could I go airside at T3 using my PHX boarding pass on 31/05 (ie day before my flight) to use a lounge and then come back out to spend the night at my hotel? I think probably not and might cause some confusion if I did.
On the day of my PHX flight could I go via T5 to use the Concorde Room? And then transfer across to T3 to make my flight?
or will my boarding pass only allow me to check in to T3?
in which case...
could I check in in at T3 and use transfer to go to CCR at T5 and then transfer back to T3? Or is that just too much hassle!?
Thanks

You should get the lounge at LBA
You will not get arrivals lounge in T5
You are unlikely to get airside at T3 on the 31st
you will not get into T5 airside on the 1st so you will not have access to CCR
no you cannot check in in T3 and transfer to airside in t5
you will have access to the BA first lounge in T3
You will not get arrivals lounge in T5

Hello Learner99. The day you are flying from LBA appears to be one of the few days I am not around this month as I would have liked to say hello. Just in case you haven't flown through LBA before, you will get to use the fast track land for security, and your gate should be 8 - they usually start boarding 30-35 mins before the departure time. Also as noted there is new furniture in the lounge at LBA which of course is very exciting (I don't get out much!).
Enjoy your flight at the end of the month.
