Heathrow Terminal 3 - which oneworld lounge?

[Lendav Orav]

Hi, quick question. Which oneworld lounge is best at Heathrow T3? Am flying AA in January. Have used the AA lounge there once but am curious if the others might be better. I'm QF WP (and when I used the AA lounge I was SG so I didn't get to experience the Flagship Lounge). Thanks!

PS Am sure I didn't just type "which loneworld ounge" but that's what came up, there goes the old lesdixia!

I have not used the AA Flagship Lounge at LHR T3. The CX FLounge is ok but nothing special. A reasonable selection of finger foods and basic drinks.

The Cathay lounge is pleasant and v quiet between around noon and 4 pm when there are no cathay flights. Can have the lounge basically to yourself around those times

The CX lounge is much nicer than the current flagship lounge

There is a JL lounge depending on the time of day; I am not sure what it is like

The JL F lounge is also not very special.We were there 6 weeks ago.Rather worn seats.Food put out only in small lots.Nice sushi when you could get it.They do have french wines but you must ask the staff to get them for you.
Did love the scones,strawberry jam and clotted cream though.
free wifi-need to get password at desk.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the info. Sounds like CX might be the go. I've never used any of their lounges but did fly with them a few years ago when I was QF staff and their service was great.

On a similar note, what about in SIN? This is my first year as a WP and I've only ever used the QF/BA J lounge there. Anyone recommend any of the other oneworld F lounges over the QF/BA?

Thanks again

I'd stick to the QF/BA lounge in SIN. In fact I think it's the only Flounge unless you're flying JL in which case you'd have access to SATS. QF/BA has a more comprehensive selection of drinks.

Another vote for CX lounge at LHR T3 - Veuve Clicquot with dim sum for brekky is a winning combo.

The AA Flagship lounge in T3 is ok, but nothing more. In design, is a smaller version of the lounge at ORD.

Basic food / drink offerings, and relatively small in size. The couple of occasions I've been in it, it's been standing room only.

I've not tried the other Oneworld lounges in T3, but as a generalisation, the CX lounge is likely to be better.

To revive an old thread, What was the outcome ...

CX First ?
BA Galleries ?
JL Sakura First ?
AA Flagship ? (How far along is the renovation now ?)

I have a 11:00am arrival in T5 (First), and a 14:50 departure T3 (Economy)... I guess i can't get back into T5 easily can I ??

Also does anybody know what time the Concord room opens in the morning in T5 (I have a Gatwick flight that comes in at 11:30pm and transfer to Heathrow... i was even thinking of skipping a hotel by the time the coach gets to Heathrow i could have a shower and maybe a rest in a cabana in the concord lounge before my 9:30am departure... any thoughts ?
