I don't think it was the case pre-covid, but as things were restarting AA operated out of T5 for all flights, IIRC, and then for JFK flights even after T3 reopened for some time. During that period, CCR access was included for AA F pax. If they have rescinded that, the OW site has not caught up. Of course, with all AA flights out of T3 now, the only way an AA customer could get to T5 would be a connection to BA rather than onward travel in F, but I'm pretty sure arriving BA F customers connecting have CCR access, so I'd hope AA F customers would as well.

Theoretically, with a lot of difficulty and finding agents willing to help you, but it's not worth the hassle. Just use Cathay Pacific First Lounge.

I'm not sure how that would compare to the CX F lounge these days, but the current CCR dining menu is pretty good.

I think the Concorde dining section of the BA lounge offers the same menu and maybe even much of the same booze as the full CCR (pretty sure they at least have the Cuvee Louise).

edit: to add some more detail, you can effectively enter other terminals when coming from flight connections without a bp for that terminal, so those landing at T3 and supposed to be departing T5 have gone thro flight connections at T3 and used the lounges there before going to T5. you can't do it the other way around tho, T5 has a Ready to Fly system unlike the other terminals and you quite simply cannot enter T5 airside departures without a T5 bp. so for the OP's scenario the T5 lounges are not accessible.

As CK we have easy access into "the real" CCR for departures.
But T5 arrivals lounge has a small "Concorde Breakfast Room" Has anyone been successful in entering here with your ConciergeKey credentials and a ClubWorld ticket? I ask because when I departed from T3, i had to do a little back and forth with the confused BA Lounge person (there is a secret 'miniCCR' in T3 as well).

cheers.
