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.

Anyone know when the QF lounge a la carte dinner starts being served from and if it is available to non QF ticketed passengers?

I've been skipping the CX F reataurest lately for early afternoon flights in favor of AA F. AA serve the same menu all day, meaning you can have breakfast past 12noon. The full English bap is really quite good. Plus I like to grab a couple of evian bottles for the flight.

Relaxing in t3

Good morning society
I pretty much know all the T3 ow lounges.. In respect of champagne 🥂😍🤔
What if it comes down to laying down?
I can't really recall a real rest area anywhere besides the one pay lounge.
Which is in ur opinion the best place to rest?
Arriving today at t5 around 9..and flying out of t3 to Mia after 4?
Thnx

A hotel!

In all seriousness, I don’t recall seeing a rest-type area in any of them, so I would recommend considering it.

I think it's about 18:30 last time I was in there. It's available to everyone.

Current LHR CX F champagnes. Prefer the LP, nice crisp and clean. The Vesselles is drinkable but slightly yeasty nose I don’t like. Not a big rose fan but Layton’s is good, not too sweet which is what I dislike with most rose. My preferred is LP by a clear margin; but the other two are worth trying.

36 pages of previous comments, I'm sure the answer is here already. Why not just check out a couple for yourself and see what you like.

Checking on a mobile, with posts spanning over 4 years and mostly focussed on the F lounges, the search was unfortunately fruitless.

Probably Cathay is the short answer but scanning upwards a few pages will give you the idea. Qantas if it's not too early and you prefer lighter, healthier options. If you have family with you a case could be made for American due to the sweets and American food options. Just check your belongings before departure.....

Really?! Have things gone walkies in there?

And yes, I’d agree with Cathay if you fancy a bit of a fry-up and some drinks, or Qantas if you want a fabulous fry-up combined with other choices. I’d probably settle on the side of Qantas for breakfast as the choice is superb; there’s a wider range of cooked items than Cathay. Then pop into Cathay if you fancy a cocktail or two.

Thanks, both. Qantas sounds like the best option I reckon. What “American food options” are available in the AA business lounge? Are we talking pancakes, bacon and maple syrup?

I can see the posts above with breakfast but they all appear to be F dining rather than J breakfast buffet, or am I missing something?

These Goldies just get everywhere I'm afraid, but there are some snippets about life outside of the Emerald track if you look for them. AA indeed do those sorts of US style breakfast items and their catering company has a good reputation. It can be quite busy however, since their passenger peak is earlier than the other lounges.
