T5 to T3 was a long run this morning, the bus took a while to arrive, there were a stack of people coming onboard at T5B, people were slow moving down the bus, slow getting off, basically just slow.

T3 security seemed to be particularly stringent too, took a while to get through as the scanner was backing up due to the time each body search was taking.

From landing to arrival in the lounge has been 80 minutes with hand baggage only, not the worst ever but far from great.

Which brings me to first stop of the day, the American Airlines First Class Lounge. The American lounge always seems to come last in any first class lounge comparisons but I think they all have their advantages and reasons for visiting and, with the American lounge, it is the breakfast pancakes which have become a habit for me when passing through T3 early.




Simple, but delicious, and decent coffee too.
