Yes, it would be nice if this came back. I used to fly AA from PVD-ORD-LAX back when I needed the cheapest possible fare

I've connected at FRA twice recently (Terminal 2 D and E, I think) from BA to EY and return, and found it to be one of the simplest, easiest, quickest and most pleasant connection experiences I have ever had. The terminal did seem quite new, however -- maybe the LH areas are older or more crowded?
People tend to have mixed experiences at LHR; some (like me) find it great, but others don't enjoy it at all. And as for MAD, well, you probably won't dread MAD, but you may well dread IB!

As I think someone mentioned earlier, you won't be missing an arrivals lounge, as they exist at T5 for BA passengers and at T3 for AA (and some other OW) passengers. Additionally, EXPs in any cabin on AA or BA can access the arrivals lounge in the terminal where they arrive after a TATL ^

From JFK, both AA (AA142) and BA run day flights (though I think I read that the AA day flight will cease for a while during airplane interior retrofits). From BOS, BA is running the day flight.
BA runs
all of the OW flights to the UK out of BOS now. AA only runs TATLs in the summer, and not to the UK.

Did AA stop the HEL flight? I admit I'm not up to date as I rarely go northeast of the North Sea

IIRC TW's lifetime club members did
not receive lifetime membership in the AC. However, TW did not merge with AA. Hopefully, as US and AA are merging, the outcome will be more positive for those in your position.
