If you have at least 5 hours of layover time, it might be worth it according to folks I have asked..
We are arriving T5 and departing T5 in 2.5 hrs and folks here have said that's not enough time to transit airside between terminals.
I would have loved to visit my first international Centurion lounge but the crowds are an issue as you have to sign up for a waitlist on your Amex app.

Reporting back - we were able to do this successfully and its quite easy because we arrived in T3 and were departing from T5.
Recapping:
Recapping:
- Arrive in T3 (cabin bags only)
- Follow signs for T3 connecting flights. No need to go through passport control. But you will need to go through transit security check in T3.
- Tell the person at the boarding pass check just before security that you want to visit the Amex Centurion lounge.
- Go through transit security.
- Walk down the long passageway. As soon as you enter the main T3 shopping/dining departure area, youll see the Centurion lounge entrance on your right.
- After youre done, retrace your steps. When you reach the T3 post-transit-security area, chat with the folks at the desk and indicate you want to get to T5. They will let you through a special double-door.
- Take the airside transit bus to T5.
- At T5 you have to go through security again, so remember to leave a sufficient amount of time for this.
