Unless you're arriving into ORD T1-3 by air, I'm not sure you'd be able to access the ORD AA T3 lounges with a T5 boarding pass.
If you do happen to be airside ORD T1-3, then there used to be a one-way airside shuttle bus T3 to T5 for AA to BA pax. Not sure if that's still available.

Hi
I think you should be able to use the ord t5 bp to access t3 as there are not any tsa restrictions on accessing a different terminal with s boarding padd iirc
likewise I think the airside t3 to t5 bus is running but msy not be that frequent ( I think there used to be a gap mud afternoon a whole back)
Regards

It looks like the Terminal Transfer Bus (TTB) service for airside transfers between T5 and T1/T3 has been temporarily suspended.

Hi. OWE Emerald (via AA) flying BA WTC+ ORD LHR. Does BA allow access to the lounge? Never been able to access it when flying AY. Do they still board from the lounge like I’ve heard happened in the past? Is First class lounge open or is it still combined with business lounge ?

ORD T1, T2, T3 to T5 busing being looked at for connecting pax
Yes it’s very quick and efficient if you don’t mind re-clearing security. You shouldn’t need to wait more than a few minutes for a train. Be sure to board one going in the correct direction (T5 / MMF).

Looks like QR moves first (next month ??) and BA sometime in 2022.

As to the TTB, the same poster (as in my previous link) opined that it may be operation in the next 30 - 45 days.

My hopes are that either BA opens both Club and First lounges and dining in T3 or BA partners with AA in the Flagship Lounge and BA First passengers get something like Flagship First Dining. I have no information to support this, just expressing what I hope happens.
