I've read through a bit and still have questions - I am travelling on an AA award flight from YYZ to PPT with a stop at LAX. The YYZ-LAX segment is on a Sunday night and the LAX - PPT is mid-day on the monday (<24hrs, considered one continuous award flight). The LAX - PPT segment is in J (well, the whole award is J but the YYZ-LAX segment doesn't have J space, so for now we are in Y). My question is: will we have access to the AA lounge at YYZ prior to departing for LAX? I asked an AA agent and they seemed to think yes because it is an international J ticket, but I am not so sure since the J portion of the ticket is not the same day. Anyone have experience with a similar situation that could weigh in? If it makes any difference, LAX-PPT is on Air Tahiti Nui.
Thanks in advance!
