An alternative would be to fly AA 1st to LHR and use the AA Flagship T3 Lounge. It would save the YQ cost. Any thoughts, advice, comments.
Thanks.
Like most places outside the US, at LHR you cannot access the departures area of a terminal without a boarding pass leaving that terminal. You must continue to T3 departures if you wish to use a lounge there and there will be no way to access the Concorde Room.
If eligible, other options would be to visit central London or to visit Galleries Arrivals in T5.
