Once you are BA Gold, when you enter the airport and have an upcoming Oneworld flight, you can use most F lounges from a Oneworld carrier. If you only make it to BA Silver, you'll use the business lounges. Makes a huge difference.

Eat and drink well in the lounge, sleep/read on the plane. American's Flagship Lounges and other Oneworld F lounges are fantastic. Up in the air, even American flight attendants will tell you that Trailways buses are more pleasant for long-distance travel.
