No kidding.. BA had 6-7 daily flights between LHR and FCO on the schedule about two months ago. These were subsequently reduced to three daily flights, and two weeks ago only two of those flights operated on each day when I flew out and back. Fortunately none of my flights were cancelled, although one was severely delayed..

T5B lounge is not listing "showers", while T5 North and T5 South lounges are both listing "showers".
Also, T5 North does not list "vegetarian food options", while T5 South and T5B are both listing vegetarian food options. Is this information current?

I can confirm from a recent trip that T5 North lounge contains vegetarian food (and broadly speaking the food in all 3 is the same).
Cannot comment on showers.

Used showers in T5 Galleries North this morning. Mid-morning, no wait, clean and pleasant experience.
PS Though OT from the topic of showers, the only downside I can see in North (which I rarely use) is a lack of plugs for device charging. Give how BA is pushing us all to do everything online… that is jolly wolly unfair (stamps foot).

First, a quick question....
Are the shower facilities open in the North & South Galleries lounges in T5 at LHR ?
And now some additional information along with a further enquiry....
We shall be arriving into LHR in business class on AA from DFW with a scheduled arrival time at T3 of 6:20 am. We'll then be connecting to a BA flight from T5 to Rome in business class with a scheduled departure time of 9:35 am. Thus, we'll have three hours and 15 minutes to make our connection from T3 to T5.
I would dearly love to take a quick shower before we board our flight to FCO. However, my experience with the Galleries lounges in T5 is they tend to be rather busy. And if the shower facilities are open, perhaps I might have to wait a bit before one becomes available.
Your thoughts and advice are much appreciated.
