Could one do such a thing to gain access to the lounge Flagship lounge? Can you refund even if you check in for the flight?
Yes, you can cancel a refundable ticket after you have checked in for the flight. It might be weird, though, if you have a double booking (i.e., a JFK-LAX and a JFK-SEA booking).

Not sure if it is possible, but maybe see if you can change your routing from JFK-SEA to JFK-LAX-SEA. Or see if you can change to the A380 flight.
