The time I recall seeing was 40 min T5 to T1 airside bus (plus add 5-10 min waiting time)....so it really will take an hour. There is only 1 lounge to use at T1 after T5 opens, so your choice is easy -- the J (Terraces) lounge. The T1 F lounge closes the day T5 opens, and arrivals are segregated so you cannot reach the T5 departure lounges unless you have a boarding pass for a T5 departure.

Will I really have to go on the HEX to T1 then wait for a bus from there to the car park?
( I really hope I don't especially after a 10 hour flight, with of course no arrivals lounge for me to shower or anything in before as well as I arrive after 12 noon when it will be shut - icing on the cake that really
)

also, whilst on lounges, are there long-haul and short-haul areas? i.e. i am flying to CDG on Sunday 30th from T5. can i use the F lounge or does it have to be the north galleries lounge intended for CE pax? i am then flying back to LAX in CW 2 weeks later so will be able to sample the F lounge but just wondering.
thanks.
