Flagship first check in is only for international D1 (and perhaps the domestic transcons too). You can't just "head over" there; there is a security guy in a suit standing outside with a list of names. If you're not on his list (I wasn't) and can't show a BP with a seat in D1 (I was able to do this) you won't be permitted past the frosted glass doors. No chance you are getting in with a domestic first ticket.

Also, in my experience, the agents at sky priority check in at LAX are both more efficient and more knowledgeable than those I encountered at flagship first. Don't just believe the marketing hype!
Flagship? You have the wrong airline/terminal (AA).
