Do I have to worry about time? Flying First on AA and then BA - not sure if that makes any difference? Is the priority security line at T5 any better than the economy line? At LAX sometimes Priority is worse? I bought the AA 5Star Service just to make things easier - not sure if that was a waste of money but heck I'm on vacation!

Then, great to hear about Westfield - sounds like we're better off just eating at the Food court than sitting in the BA F lounge a I see it has been getting woeful reviews?

Any helps or tips appreciated!!

Thanks!
3h15m is plenty of time. Assuming a 15 minute walk to baggage claim, a half hour to get your bags, 15 minutes to get to T5, a half hour to check your bags, and a half hour to get through security (all of which are well-padded assumptions), you've still got over an hour to figure out if the BA F lounge is worth your while.

No idea if AA FSS will help you get to T5, though.
