edit - I'm not sure whether the new expanded Flagship lounge access policy (link to AA forum thread below) applies at LHR. If so, it may no longer be only OWE.

From memory I think AA have rebranded the LHR Flagship Lounge as an International First lounge (or something similar) and at present it's OneWorld Emeralds or F pax only. OneWorld Sapphire/J pax can use the Admirals Club.

The lounge is scheduled for a refit and once this is completed it'll open as a Flagship lounge (and possibly have Flagship dining too). According to AA this is scheduled to completed in 2018.

Once the refit is completed, J+F and OneWorld Emerald and Sapphire will have access to the Flagship lounge and those flying F will have access to Flagship dining.
