If you are going into the lounge to dine, I much prefer the CX F lounge at T3 to the CCR at T5. Overall I generally prefer to travel from T3 rather than from T5.
The one plus I can think of for the BA F lounge at T3 (although I don't actually think I have been in there since the CX one opened) is for the selection of newspapers and magazines. |

I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the second floor of the QF lounge. The bar area on the first floor is beautiful, but early morning is not a time (for me) to drink.

Can't believe that no-one has mentioned two big (well IMHO!) perks of the AA lounge - a help yourself sweetie bar (with takeaway bags helpfully provided), and - best of all - Portlebay popcorn! If there's a finer snack to be had, I haven't found it. :p
Since I rarely drink in lounges, and have a rather sweet tooth, I often opt for the AA lounge. Great service, decent wifi and although the ambience is a bit lacking compared with the competition, I love being able to leave with a bag of chocolates for the flight. |

Where has the dim sum gone?
We are not T3 regulars so haven’t visited since October. Popped into the Cathay lounge for dim sum and found a new menu.
What a shame...... |

What a shame...... BTW Try the Dan Dan Mian next time in CX, it's delicious! |
Thanks for the recommendation. I tried fish & chips.

Does this lounge hopping at T3 cost BA money as in having to pay 2 or more airlines for using there lounges?

I normally base myself in the Cathay lounge but tried the new Qantas one recently as was very impressed, especially with the dining options. I suppose if I fancy dim-sum and noodles for dinner I'll go to Cathay if I fancy something else I'll go to Qantas. I was surprised at how small the Qantas lounge felt however, but the standard of the finish was excellent. Then I might pop into the AA lounge closer to boarding if my sweet tooth plays up and I fancy a few treats for the flight!

The QF lounge was very nice but I felt a bit more formal in it's layout, and no food served before 930am I think. I could be wrong. |

Was in the CX J lounge in December and the Char Siu Bun was no longer on the menu :-( Does anyone know if it is/has come back?
