    Not crowded,  lots of comfy chairs
    Greg T.

    The American Airlines Admiral's Club in Terminal 3 at Heathrow is very nice. The Flagship Lounge is even nicer. Access is limited by One World/Advantage status and ticketing code. The Flagship Lounge offers a very nice buffet and an open bar. Staff are plentiful, pleasant and welcoming. The seats are comfortable and there are plenty of space for guests. A nice place to relax and enjoy a drink and meal while you wait for your flight!

    Lounge was clean and service was friendly. Comfortable seating and only reason for not giving five stars is the food choices were limited. Drinks were excellent and there were many snacks to choose from. Nice clean lounge when flying American Airlines or British Airways

    Everybody waiting to go someplace

    There are two areas in the lounge the admirals club and the international first class lounge. I never noticed the International 1st class lounge because I was always shown to the Admiral's clubs but this time. Maybe I got an upgrade. Food and drinks seem to be similar in both areas as well as the place to plug in your laptop or your phone. Free Wi-Fi throughout et cetera. Often overlooked are the free showers. I took several photos of the shower rooms take advantage and feel better before your next flight.

    The food has gotten a lot, *lot* better over the last year or so - upgraded bubbly (Moet imperial and moet rose!) and actually acceptable buffet options. The wifi is, as always, wicked fast, but the view has completely gone to s**t - there is a T3 extension in front of the windows Bottom line - if you're EXP, head to the cathay lounge for the food and the view, unless you need the wifi...

    Chicken curry, pasta, Jack & Coke

    "Brexit" has prompted me to review BA's partners at LHR. Hoping we can stick around yea? ;) Honestly, the only reason why I came to AA's flagship lounge was to see how my beloved airline back home fared on the international scene. Needless to say, it ended up being a good lounge, albeit basic compared to the obvious heavy hitters of BA lounges found in Heathrow. Being an international lounge, I was pleased that there was at least complimentary bites and free flowing drinks available to guests. There were even fresh fruit smoothies- something I hadn't seen elsewhere around LHR. Lunch hours had chicken curry (yum) and some plain pasta with your choice of sauce. I'd skip this option if I were you. Being one of the lesser known lounges, there was an abundance of space during my visit. If you're looking to escape Galleries' crowds, then AA is a decent option to turn to.

    Menu to order!!

    Great lounge for food and rest. Now very crowded and they have a la carte menu for ordering individual items in addition to various ready-to-eat buffet station. Breakfast offers healty yogurt, fruit and cereals as well as eggs, sausages, muffins and etc. I thought it was much better than BA lounge. It's relatively small compared to BA lounge but not many people. I might take AA just to use this lounge over BA.

    Available laptops, Internet comfy working chairs.

The lounge was easy to find although the check-in experience was a little odd. Upon presenting my boarding pass, the woman at the entrance said something about my airline status qualifying me for Clubrooms (adjacent to the No1 lounge and owned by them) instead. As I understand it, it's supposed to be a little more upscale and is adult-only with à la carte food ordered from a server in lieu of buffet fare. It was a totally adequate lounge experience; comfortably roomy and nicely decorated. I was there during breakfast and wasn't super excited by the menu but ordered a bagel with pastrami for some sustenance during my flight. It was horrible tbh, but as a NY Jew I admit my standards are a little high. I had a glass of vinho verde as well which was lovely. They did have some self-serve pastries; I had a pain au chocolat that was actually pretty excellent. Would I personally visit again? Absolutely with PP - who can possibly complain about free food/bev and a nice place to relax before a flight. Do I think it's worth paying the staggering £48 for? Certainly not. Food-wise, I think I would have preferred the buffet in the standard lounge (which also happens to be about 10 quid cheaper). TL;DR - nice lounge, on the nicer end for Europe, excellent compared to the US, meh compared to Asia

    5 Stars for the best airport lounge I've ever been to…read more To put this in the same category as most airport lounges is to do it a disservice. It feels part upscale restaurant, part members club, part bar, part swanky lounge. My favorite part is the fact that there are different areas with distinctly different seating and atmosphere. When you're stuck waiting for a delayed flight (or just arrived absurdly early in case of traffic), the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will keep things from feeling stale. And the separate entrance/security lines? -Chef's kiss- I didn't make use of the spa treatments or Dom, but had a fabulous breakfast and strolled up to the rooftop garden for some sunshine before my transatlantic flight. Now that most airport lounges are filled to the gills and feature the saddest cafeteria-style food, this clubhouse is an oasis and could be a great model for future lounge differentiation. Though this ticket class is a once-in-a-long-while splurge, it made the price feel a little less insane.

Reason being relative to the amount of traffic this terminal gets, the lounge capacity is very limited. The waitlist can be up 45+ minutes and it's not guaranteed that everyone on the waitlist can enter before they need to board their flight. This time it appeared they were giving some priority to people who had to board sooner as long as I was willing to share a table with another customer. In this lounge the staff assign seats to each customer which isn't something you usually see, though made sense based on the small size. Since I had only about 15 minutes prior to boarding time I wasn't choosy about comfort, really just wanted to grab a quick breakfast prior to getting on the flight, so this was fine by me. There's a small bar with breakfast selection of the day being "English breakfast" items: scrambled eggs, baked beans, crispy bacon, sausage. They also had some fruit/veg juices, pancakes (via a nifty little pancake machine), a bar with limited alcoholic drinks, and regular coffee/tea options. Functional enough for a quick stop though less comfortable than some other international lounges in terms of space, but still better than many lounges in the US when comparing quality of food.

The line was out the door with a 30 minute wait (and frankly not my favorite lounge, see my separate review of that one), and thankfully they told us to head to My Lounge which had more availability. They are both run by the same company, with My Lounge being recently remodeled and reopened (previously Club Aspire) in the past few months. Walking into the lounge it's decorated with a cozy vibe, think textured brick walls, warm jewel tone tweed textures on the furniture with medium wood accents in the floor and bookshelves, reminiscent of a modern family room. Seating inside looks roughly enough for about 100 people, at mostly lounge chairs and couches. There's decent spacing so that it doesn't feel too crowded. Check-in counter is immediately inside the entrance, at around 10:30am it wasn't too crowded, we were able to enter right away. Later on when we left around 1pm there was a short wait of about 10-15 minutes. Directly to the right of the check-in, there's a small, more private lounge room with seating for about 8-10 which is where we parked ourselves. Walking left past the check-in counter the space opens up to a bar serving liquor and cocktails, and a food bar along the wall. They had breakfast food set out, including yogurt, smoothies, granola and cereal, cut fruit, bread and mini pastries, and warm food including all the elements of a traditional English breakfast including scrambled eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, toast, roasted tomatoes, roasted potatoes. There was also a pancake station which I've seen at a couple other Europe lounges, and you can basically pour your own batter and it goes through a mini oven and pops out cooked on the other side. Around noon they also set out lunch food though we didn't end up eating much of that. Free WiFi is available and strong. There are screens scattered around the lounge with airline info though similar to other lounges no announcements are made, so you have to keep track of your own boarding time. Bathrooms are in decent shape. Normal hours are 5:00am to 10:00pm. Not a bad place to spend a few hours, would def stop by again if I lay over at Heathrow Terminal 3!

My husband and I stopped in on our way from Phoenix to Italy and it was such a wonderful experience. Upon entering we were warmly greeted (which sometimes in Europe is not the case), and our eyes fixed upon a glorious display of foods and snacks from all over the world. They offered British delicacies (don't miss out on the shortbread cookies) as well as other quality dishes that you are welcome to take as much as you like. This lounge also has multiple open bars where you serve yourself, juice and snack stations throughout, a kids playplace, and beautifully kept up tables and chairs to accommodate lots of travelers with space in between. They have washrooms as well which is so nice for those long travel days. We stayed just over an hour, but I could have stayed all day.
