Bumping this thread and seeking updated thoughts.
Which lounge for an AA J to BA J transfer (in the morning) at T3?
Seems it mostly comes down to AA Admirals Club vs. BA Galleries (is CX open yet?)
Main goal is a shower without having to wait, secondary goal is something decent to eat for breakfast. I won't have a ton of time there. I was at the AC about a year ago and was generally impressed, but comparisons/recommendations appreciated!

Spotted a mention of this just recently over on the CX forum .... the re-furb seems to be dragging on.
Someone had messaged the CX twitter team (just within last few days) and it seems that even they could offer no date for the re-opening of their dedicated lounge at T3. Meanwhile their website directs pax to the AA lounges.

Currently sitting in the BA First lounge after visiting the AA Flagship lounge. BA is clearly the better option: More space, better food, more options, nicer seating. AA has three choices of Gin, though....

Agree. Went to the AA lounge last week and left after 30 seconds. Back to BA GF.

I think so, personally I don't think the flagship lounge is that bad for food although I do miss the black pudding. I have been flying AA a lot more recently since BA decided that food/service is something passengers in Y don't really need and using the AA complex is good as they can do the security check on the passport. They also have quite nice smoothies.

Anyone have commentary on the business class lounges?
