While the Flagship lounge is nice, I'm not sure it is worth all of the effort you'd need to go through to visit.
Earlier in this thread there is much discussion about a same day BP allowing you access to any terminal. Theory aside, In June, I checked in at T-5 (CX), and then took the land side bus back to T-3 to access T-5/Flagship. I did find the T-3 to T-5 (airside) bus less than reliable.
