which do you recommend: RDU-LGW, ORD-LHR, or BOS-LHR?

"I am an AC member, and I am GLD. Should I would like to shower there, is there a shower at BA's facilities I can use? Does the AC have showers?"
I think that you may be unable to go to the AC anyway since it is in the wrong terminal and unless travelling in Club Europe/Club World/First on with BA then you won't have access to the BA lounges as a OW Ruby member. If you do have lounge entitlement, then the BA Terraces does have showers.

Personally, I actually find the BOS-LHR flight too short (usually < 6 hours). After eating dinner, this does not leave enough time for a good snooze in preparation for a day's work in Europe.

I will have 5 hours of ground time at LGW. I am an AC member, and I am GLD. Should I would like to shower there, is there a shower at BA's facilities I can use? Does the AC have showers?

Thanks.
UPDATE: Answered my own question. Put in same dates (11/25 and 11/30) and get the $330 price too from SJC. Too bad it's a 500% increase over Christmas.

It's GSK, or GlaxoSmithKline. Also, the flight does well with a high cargo revenue load. This flight is also AA's most profitable European route and was also the only European route that made a profit in Q4 2002. </font>

LGW arrivals Lounge at the Hilton is closed. Was just there over the weekend and checked.
The video on the plane says it is still open.

Yes! And with the sushi now back in full force, not to mention other goodies, that's an increasingly real possibility.
