Lounge Access Upon Arrival?
I'm going to be flying on a shorthaul BA flight arriving in LHR and then departing on a Virgin Atlantic flight later that day out of T3. What are the chances I could use my BA ticket and Silver card to access the plethora of wonderful One World lounges in T3 before my Virgin flight departs?

No chance!

About 0% chance.. But you knew that already :D

Ah too bad - I'm not used to the European lounge access rules. I can get into AA lounges on either end of my domestic flight and nobody bats an eye. Thanks for the quick replies. Much appreciated!

There are also a couple of paid lounges in T3 you may be able to use if you have access via priority pass or similar.

Priority Pass have the Plaza Premium Arrivals Lounge in T3... but it's landside.

Yes, but all AA club members have access, regardless of onwards flight (according to AA.com)
An Admirals Club member would have access to the Admirals Club by virtue of Admirals Club membership. But we haven't yet established if the OP is an Admirals Club member or is merely seeking access by status. |

The Arrivals Lounge is not an Admirals Club and flying BA shorthaul into LHR will not provide access to the Arrivals Lounge even if one is an Admirals Club member. (I was responding to sunshinebob's post about Arrivals Lounge access).

If you don't mind paying, the No. 1 Lounge is nicer than any of the oneworld lounges in T3 imho.
