1) How much time should I allow for going from the AA Flagship lounge to make over to T5 and deal with security?

2) Is the Swiss Lounge still a "zoo" and has anyone had success getting into the BA lounge there?

Thanks...
T5 security can be a mixed bag. I have been there 3 times now. Once it's practically deserted, and the other 2 times it is at least 30 minutes. So be careful. I would say go to the Swiss lounge instead of using AA Admiral's Club.

BA lounge will kick you out citing 'capacity control', even if there are nobody in the lounge.
