Really sucks for AA flyers that they have to use the trash BA lounges now. Hope AA gets back to T3 soon.
Let's hope they implement a new rule: every single passenger needs to take a shower before boarding any plane or be refused.
@Biz Guy are you kidding me? Would've made more sense if you compared BA with QF/CX lounges in T3
@Julia LOL yes always makes me laugh when AA pax moan about the BA lounges at T5 while not great they hands down beat any Admirals club and in fact the galleries first is better than most flagship lounges imho
The only good lounge in T3 is the Cathay Pacific offering, the AA lounge is not as good as BA T5 lounges imho. Pleased to see things are slowly coming together.
The AA transfer to T5 will be permanent. 100% sure of that based upon information I have read/seen.
I quite like that card idea generally. Sometimes it can be hard to see when a seat is actually free as staff haven't cleaned up yet.
I will also accept a beach towel I can leave on the chair back!
The galleries first ‘outside’ terrace is tiny.... that’s where I used to go for a kip when my schedule was ridiculous, as it is so small and quiet I would be undisturbed (and of course the CCR cabanas were never available).
Did you include the article link where you wrote about they selling lounge arts for cash
Yes, T5 move is permanent.
And BA opening more lounges, just not CCR and T5 satellites at this stage.
James, very few people shower at the airport before flying, and ever fewer need to.
