That said, allow some time as getting to T5 can take a while. And CX does use the SWISS Lounge at T5 so at least you'll have somewhere to go.
Is there a big difference between the flagship lounge and the regular admirals club?

I have heard the Swiss lounge is really nothing so I would rather hang out at the AA lounge and then take time to get to the terminal and people watch at the gate.

I do plan on boarding sober and then getting dunk on all the Krug that is on board !
