It has been confirmed by AA that they will be moving all flights back to LHR T3 as of 12 July 2022:
https://www.aa.com/i18n/travelInformation/destinationInformation/lhr-airport.jsp

We 're moving all operations to Terminal 3 on July 12, 2022.

Until then, if you're flying to New York (JFK), Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX) and Miami (MIA) you’ll check-in and depart from Terminal 5.

Remember to check your flight status before you go to the airport and arrive at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure time.

Ok, so regardless of where the plane gets towed overnight, it sounds like AA142 from JFK will most likely arrive at T5 (possibly a remote stand, but we'd come into T5 arrivals). We'll be be staying the night before our connecting flight the next day, so I'm trying to decide whether to book the Sofitel at T5 or Hilton Garden Inn at T2/T3 (and traveling with small children, I'm trying to make our arrival as simple as possible). It sounds like the Sofitel will be the way to go. Thanks!

Renovation. Even if they didn't change the design - which I agree is incredibly sterile - I found the place extremely worn with damage in early 2020.

I know they've replaced some of the furniture during Covid to try and tide it over until they can afford a more extensive renovation.

I have a flight booked to Dallas in May.

AMEX booked it with Iberia, but operated by AA. AA81 outbound, AA20 inbound.

Itinerary showing LHR T5 both outbound and inbound.

Question - is T5 expetced to stay for this route? or possibly is this a conseqence of the AA move to T5 for certain route through COVID?

JFK has remained at T5, and it was announced about a month ago that DFW, LAX, and MIA flights were all moving to T5 as well sometime this spring. I would fully expect that to last through at least the summer season.

oneWorld web site says:
AA F (NOT EXP, Not via T3 to other destinations), but AA F LHR-JFK most certainly do get access to the CCR at LHR. No guests though, AFAIK. I can't comment on access at the JFK CCR room if not in F on BA - not sure why you would not be in T8 anyway. Perhaps that was the actual question here? Ih that case, the Oneworld site seems to indicate the CCR T7 JFK is indeed only for BA F passengers (and of course, BA CCR cardholders.)

A reminder that the 77W / 773 flights with Flagship First Class service from / to DFW, JFK and MIA are using LHR T-5, the BA main terminal effective Sunday, March 27.

We are on the AA51 DFW flight with an 08.40 departure this Saturday from T5.

Looks like AA use Zone C. Any experiences of the check in lines for AA and what time they open? Premium Economy has a dedicated line as I understand.

Seems either 06.00 on the website and 06.30 up thread for opening up check in.

you may be able to use the BA first check in on the otherwise of the terminal. Shorter line and security lanes open into the lounge. Should work if you are EXP even in PE. Hopefully, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

If you are flying on AA you are not going to be able to check in with BA, unless this is some very new T5 benefit that I'm unaware of.

As to T5 check in desk opening times, I would go by the website, 6am sounds correct now that the first DFW flight is departing earlier. 6:30am would've made sense back when it was only JFK and the ~9:30am departure was the first one out.

Hi,

I believe there are AA desks in the BA First Wing.

That would make sense (although you would still be checking in with AA, just in a different location in T5).

There is no indication the OP is an AA EXP according to their profile. They are an BAEC Bronze, so regular AA check in.
