I sampled the 3 oneworld T3 lounges last week and asked the AA agents about the timeframe of when the AA Flagship lounge was due to be renovated (last I heard was by end of 2018). I was told that renovations have been indefinitely delayed and there’s no new date. Disappointing. |
I was in the T3 CX business lounge yesterday after trying the QF lounge. QF was empty as the early flight had gone so it was very quiet but I felt that the QF lounge was a bit clinical and the seating not too comfy so we moved to CX. I had not tried the CX lounge before but I loved it. Service was good as was the noodle bar (Dan Dan Mein). Nice hot options of stroganoff and a curry with rice and fresh veg. All looked nice. I think the CX lounge could be my fav so far in T3. Just the BA lounge to try now :)

You really don’t need to try the BA Galleries ! CX biz lounge is the best one in there - lovely place ! |
LHR T3: CX-J vs QF lounges
I know there has been many many threads about lounges in LHR T3 but they are mainly dating from before QF lounge openned or comparing QF lounge to CX First Lounge (with the latter usually recommended).
However I'm only OWS so it will have to be one of the business lounge, in this case would you recommend CX or QF? Flight is around 1pm so I will be there for lunch, a few drinks and enjoy a comfortable seat (with a view if possible). I don't care too much about internet speed or showers. |
CX. Although I am sure that there are many threads from when QF opened (after all it has been open over a year now.) Also check out the lounge forum. |
Why not do both?
|
Of course do both - then make your own mind up
|
I'd do both - I like them equally I think.
CX for the best seats overlooking the apron, with comfortable ottomans to stretch on. Good asian food any hour of the day. QF for the coffee, gin, and healthy food options. Last time they also had a nice range of syrups on offer if you like non-alcoholic drinks. |
Both is an option and then you will know your preference for future trips. I prefer CX over QF but I know others differ.
|
For a G&T, Qantas is hands down the best
For decor / ambience / food / showers - I would say CX Both make the BA lounge look like the third rate airline it now well and truly is! |
I hate to say this, but I really dislike the QF lounge at LHR. It just seems too sterile for me, plus the dining room is never open when I am there. The food choices don't really appeal either - the buffet always looks trashed and the combination of foods doesn't really work. However, that's just my view and others may have different viewpoints.

Qantas upstairs bar make a nice (although rather potent!) cocktail

Just out of curiousity (apologies for hijacking somewhat), if I travel in BA Club out of T3 am I only eligible to use the BA lounge or can I use a partner lounge also? |
