Thanks for the information. I wonder why the split, with AA JFK departure from 5 and the balance from 3. Will remain that way? Are they waiting until they reopen the T3 AA lounge? Seems that critical mass would support consolidation to justify reopening that.

A small bit of info from Twitter:
American Airlines are to strengthen their partnership with BA this summer, by relocating select services from T3 to T5 at Heathrow.
Flights to Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and New York JFK will operate from T5.
AA had operated from T5 during the pandemic.
Tried to paste link but it didn't populate, but it's from @tofly_totravel

Makes sense to have the most lucrative LHR routes at T5.
The T3 schedule is as follows:
-CLT (2x 777)
-PHX (1x 777)
-ORD (4x 787)
-PHL (2x 787)
-RDU (1x 777)
-SEA (1x 777)
-BOS (1x 777)
That's only 12 departures. I'm not familiar with LHR logistically, but is there really no room to accommodate those flights at T5?
