Only when they started closing and renovating ACs in D did they open the E lounge up to any AC cardholder (and even direct some folks there in the high D gates). I think it's still pretty unclear whether AC members will get access to this premium lounge or not.
You could be right about limited access, but to your point about MIA, I would argue the DFW situation is exactly the situation MIA was in when AA started to allow any AC member access to the Premium Lounge in E. And note they are calling it a
Premium Lounge. If they wanted to limit access, wouldn't it make sense to call it the
Temporary Flagship Lounge?
