We're arriving LHR T-3 on AA66 (07:50 AM) and departing on BA886 (flying as AA6718) departing T-5 to OTP at 09:50. My intent is FCC to T-5, using Fast Track Security Channel??? and head to the Galleries First Lounge if I have sufficient time.

The return is BA853 / AA6632 from PRG Arv LHR T-5 at 09:10 and departing T-3 at 11:35 on AA137 to LAX. Take FCC, bus to T-3, etc. and CX lounge if open.

What I am seeing here and elsewhere is this should be a fairly easy connection both ways, with possibly even a little time in the FC lounge in T-5 outbound? Or...

Options: Arrive on AA T-3, use Fast Track for HM Customs and formalities, use HEx to T5, check in at F and use Fast Track Security, ditto in reverse. Would this be preferable to FCC? We travel with a personal item and a 22" rollaboard each.

TA!

Later... It went off without a major hitch. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/9958322-post37.html
