We leave Charlotte at 10:25 PM and arrive LHR at 11:10 AM the next day. Our bodies will view that as about 6 am. Although flying American Airlines business class, neither of us sleeps well on planes. Our BA flight (Also business class) to Singapore leaves 10 hours 40 minutes later. Are there sleeping pods or short-term sleeping arrangements at LHR or in any of the AA or BA lounges? If not, what would you suggest we do?

We're old and prefer something simple. We've been told that we can check our bags with AA and that they will go directly to BA and on to Singapore without our having to handle them. Still, we will have carry-on bags, personal items, etc, to drag with us unless there is a place to check them at LHR. We will not have any British Pounds but will have credit cards.

It's never really simple, is it
