To add to the info anabolism provided, here's a link to details on Flagship Lounge including Access policies.

There is also Flagship First Dining which is available to passengers traveling in AA First on 3-class aircraft (or 4-class if/when E+ becomes a real AA product). Almost identical in concept to BA Concorde Dining at IAD, OWE does not give one access to FFD. There have been reports that those traveling in CX F ex-JFK have also been given invitations to FFD at JFK even though the rules don't specifically include them.
