AA did a terminal switch at LHR for some routes and LAX was one.

What is the long term plan for AA flights in T5?

But it's BAs desire to bring all it's T3 flights to T5 as well as this will save it a shed load of money.
I think the issue with AA fully moving over in the short term is the availability of gates in the B and C terminals #
If T5C were to be extended to the same number of gates as B that would help but there is little desire at present to spend the £££ to do that.

What does this mean with regards to Arrivals
Lounge? I prefer the AA Arrivals Lounge (T3) over BA (T5) by a wide margin.
In addition, since when is it departing LAX TBIT over T4?

I’ve got an AA LHR-DFW coming up in December. Currently listed as leaving from T3. Any ideas if this will stick? Or will LAX, MIA and DFW remain in T5 along with JFK?

The T5->T5 connection for AA flights becomes a nightmare quickly (most recently, midday yesterday).
There are no kiosks for boarding passes and there are typically 2 agents available who quickly get swamped whenever inbounds have missed connections.
Twice I haven't been able to get my AA boarding pass at my point of departure and both times has resulted in a very long wait in the T5 transit area.
Combined with the usual unavailability of the Fast Track security lanes and its easily a multi-hour labor to get connected.
Maybe its more reliable to just clear immigration and then go to T5 departures now that covid entry requirements are relaxed?

That might be a good idea depending on queues. If you can use the e-gates ( ie US or UK passport among others) then walk past customs and take the lift to departures.
As an AA Exp you can use the First wing (separate AA desks there) then use First Wing security
