Hi 747-444,
Pre assignment of business seats on BA is only open to full fare pax or those who are OW Emerald or Sapphire members ( for AA it would be Plat & Expplat status).
AA Gold ( Ow Ruby) unfortunatly does not give you preassignment of seats. you will need to wait until OLCI opens. ( ie 24 hours prior to departure)
Sorry
Regards
TBS
PS The arrivals lounge at LHR T 5 is landside but there are showers ( by the Elemis Spa) in the Galleries Lounges in T5
