three hours ought to be plenty to get a good sample in T3, and still leave time for T5 BA F

as mentioned, this will depend on how soon we get to T3 (plus allowing plenty of time to get to the the high E gates where AS departs

You ‘re correct about them not being connected and certainly not easily accessible but if one wants to you can go between T3/T5 to access lounges. I did it once at least. It was quite a hassle though.
