I will be flying out of JFK in Oct with Y-flight on AY from T8, should and can I visit the GC (or better should someone offer a visit) at T7 as I will have a 4 hour wait at the airport and ample time to do lounge hopping.
Besides the mentioned benefits (drink tickets) of having BAEC status, is the food also comped (as it was at DEN)? Or are there any made-for-order food available at the Admirals Club lounge?

Thanks for the info, too bad for that as I don't really care for the drink tickets but food would be nice due to the long wait. Maybe have to ask also on AY-forum whether anyone has experience with non-American OW-status at Admirals Club. At DEN the complimentary food was maybe the result of actually flying with BA, whereas in this case the lounge is not BA lounge per se.

The PHL Galleries Lounge is closing at 19:00?
Is this a joke? The last BA flight departs at 22:00.

TPA Lounge
Is the lounge for BA departures at TPA still the one just to the right of gate 77 ?
Any recent experience of the food offering ?
I'm flying in from DFW on AA with no decent catering on the AA sector, to join BA2166.

I am doing EDI-LHR-MIA-CHS in CW in September.
On arrival in MIA will I have access to the Admirals Club before my connecting flight with American Airlines or not?
Wasn't sure what the rules were on this. On my return CHS-DFW-LHR-EDI I'll be able to use the lounge at LHR as my domestic ticket is showing as a J fare. Is the American set up the same?

I was in AUS last night flying home in the 191. When I used to fly through DFW and hence connected on a AA flight I got drink chips, last night, however the friendly lounge lady didn't give me chips but instead told me to just flash my BA boarding card and I would get what I wanted. So this might be a change of policy based on the presence of a direct BA flight. So there might be ground for changing the AUS admirals club information if a few more can corroborate this as policy and not just a one off.
Heard the barman saying to another customer "BA gets you everything for free".
I'm BA silver, and was travelling WTP.

I can confirm this seems to be the policy - in the lounge this week I was told by the nice lounge lady to show my boarding card and I would get free food or drink. In the interests of research I managed to get through a couple of "premium beverages" and a panini.

I suspect it varies by lounge - looking at the database it seems to have always been the case that some lounges use drink tokens and others let you have anything for free.
I guess if there's a direct BA flight and no BA lounge it's likely to be an "open bar", otherwise not?

LAX Advice Requested
Hi All, I've a couple of lounge questions for flights through LAX and would grateful for your advice please ?
Mrs Aahch and I are flying LHR-LAX in J with BA at the end of September and then connecting to LAS in Y with AA (same day but a few hours later) ... What's the best lounge to use to relax during our transit ?
Also, we're returning from LAX-LHR in F a week later. What's the best lounge to use then, if no different to the answer to my question above ?
Grateful your advice ..... Thanks.

Correct. There are just two lounges the AA Flagship (for Flagship First passengers and none-AA oneworld Emeralds) and the Admirals Club.
