BA has ‘scheduled’ some short haul routes to depart from T3 in S21, but as other say it probably won’t reopen for a good while yet.

The earliest date BA will now return to T3 is 7th June.
Head for Points today suggests that this is the month the airport aim to reopen the terminal for some flights (including certain BA short haul services). So it could be a real possibility this time (especially if LGW services stay at LHR).

When does Summer end?
I fancy TIA for a cheeky 160 TP, but after 9th Sept.
Too many locations, not enough time / not enough certainly on some routes being open for business!!

Their lounge offering in T3 was nothing special, so unlike CX and QF who have invested in their ground experience at T3 - AA has benefited from the ground experience upgrade with the T5 move.

Not personally so bothered about AA, except in so far as when volumes ramp up I expect the T5 lounges might get busy

A lot depends on how T3 has been mothballed, and how it's being kept up in the meantime. T3 is a weird place, a mixture of new equipment (the T3 Integrated Baggage area, for instance) and very old and crummy (most of the utilities feeding the passenger concourse).
Considering that T3 has a catastrophic problem with pest infestation (when AA went bankrupt they mothballed all their proprietary equipment before moving them to BA's Engineering base for disposal/replacement/refurbishment; in the couple of months they were parked there a lot of them had everything made of rubber chewed to bits by rats) and pipes leaking (BA's Engineering crew room was often closed, even though newly refurbished, due to raw sewage leaking from above) if they haven't kept an eye on everything then there'll be some repairs to do.
