GRU JJ F Lounge Access From 1 April 2014?
I am OWE (AA EXP) and will be transiting GRU on April 4, departing on AA in J. I assume I can use the JJ F Lounge, right? I assume all OW rules will apply, but should I bring some documentation in case there is confusion?
The Admiral's Club was nice enough, but I would like to try something different (better?)

Unfortunately the JJ F lounge in GRU is excluded for now. http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access/

Yes, I am here at GRU right now and verified this in person (AA EXP traveling in JJ and AA business classes). The lounge attendant was as nice as could be, and pointed me to the same page you mentioned here.
But the F lounge was completely empty, I could not see a single person inside. Meanwhile, the J lounge, where she directed me to was PACKED, with every single seat taken, very loud, and people crowding the food area.
Needless to say, I ended up in the Admiral's Club, which is busy but large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably. GRU will not be my first choice until they have resolved this situation, which is pretty grim at this point.
