hi FT Gurus,
My son is returning to boarding school this weekend and has to wait for four hours at T3 arrivals for the school coach to pick him up. I hear that the AA arrivals lounge is closed in T3? Any ideas where he could hang out instead? Is there a BA arrivals lounge at T3? He is OW Sapphire/PLT and inbound in Business class…
thanks!

There are some coffee shops in T3 arrivals
What time does his flight land? BA arrivals lounge closes at 2PM
Landside from T3 to T5 and VV is free on the Tube as well. He would need a to tap in and out using a ciontactless card but won't be charged.

Thanks Travelbear - I think he'll just have to stick it out at a coffee shop in T3 if BA closes at 2 - his flight gets in at 12:30. All good and thanks again to you and teemuflyer!

Heathrow AA Arrivals Lounge.... question
Curious....Say you fly AA from ORD -to LHR, business class on the 9ish AM departure 10:30ish PM arrival. Could you stay at airport hotel and access AA Arrival Lounge the next morning before heading into city? Or strictly for same day arrival? Anyone with experience? Ha! Yes, kinda ballsy!
