This gives the lounges options available for BA passengers departing from LHR T3. If you flight is departing from T3 you will not have access to the T5 lounges - including Concorde Room - since you must have a same-day T5 boarding pass to get airside in T5. If your flight is from T3, then you need to use the T3 lounges, your boarding pass will not work in T5. As it happens there is a good range of lounges available in T3, details below.
For breakfast options for BA Gold / Emerald / First travellers, there is a photo guide in post 291, click here. Note the Qantas lounge only opens at 08:00 hrs. LHR Terminal 3 First Class Lounges    https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/cath...e-reviews.html LHR Terminal 3 Business Class Lounges

Well I had it last week and I don’t rate it tbh. Much more prefer the champagne in the CX lounge - or even the champagne in the BA lounge.

I will be visiting T3 OW lounges for the first time this week and have 4 questions. I really appreciate any help with this:
1) Any recommendations for the order to hit them? I will be arriving at 6am and departing at 2pm.. From what I can tell above good to hit QF early enough to have sit down service so I was thinking breakfast there and lunch at the CX lounge. Is it worth paying a visit to the BA lounge or no?
2) Which has the best showers?? HOT water is so important to me and I'd love to hear if there are any opinions as to which is the hottest. My only LHR showers have been in the UA arrival lounge and that was hot. Hoping finding hot water in T3 wont be an issue. The FL lounges in the US are a joke for hot water except for LAX.
3) Is the AA arrivals lounge worth visiting or better to just clear security and come back airside? If the arrivals lounge is the go to for the hot water then of course worth a stop. But if not for that, is it worth a visit for the sit down breakfast?
4) Will I be able to access the F part of the CX and BA lounges due to arriving in FF on AA? OW rules would allow this as my onward flight is same day and less than 5 hours so that the long haul is clearly the flight over from the states. My onward flight will be a separate ticket that is LHR-NAP in Business so I know that covers me for the lounges albeit the F part of CX/BA so I am hoping the AA BP gets me in.
Thank in advance for answers to these 4 questions

QF first as they close their downstairs at 12pm, so if you want squid you can go there first then CX.
BA - why?

CX has lovely showers

Never been, so no opinion. Again, CX showers are lovely.

The CX showers do look lovely. You'd consider the water to be Hot ?? One of my fav showers was QR lounge at SIN. They looked really nice like these CX ones also.
Btw I just looked and apparently AA is arriving at T5 now, which makes no sense since it says their Arrivals lounge is at T3 and I believe AA web site isnt showing it as closed. It must be closed since Covid or why would all their flights land at T5. So I guess my 3rd question is irrelevant.
Is it a really bad hike from T5 to T3? Worth visiting BA arrivals at T5 before heading to T3?
Thx

If the AA arriving in F BP does allow access to BA F & CX F is it then worth checking out the BA lounge or its just not worth it at all?
Btw, the AA Arrivals lounge is open? It appears many AA flights are arriving at T5- those folks just use the BA arrivals lounge? Which of the 2 is considered the better one?
