LHR-LAX in UC is my regular route. If you want to have a little extra fun take a limo from the terminal you land in to Terminal 3 and do Drive Through Check-in. The limo would cost you about $35, and you would walk directly through private security and to lounge. We just did this a few weeks ago, and it was fun.
Are you on a 747 or A340? If on the 747 don't sit upstairs, sit in the nose downstairs. You'll understand why if you do it.
