I'm booked in F/J CLE-DFW-MIA-BDA/BDA-PHL-CLE. I have no OW status nor an AC membership. [Why the outbound? (a) I've never flown through DFW, (b) it was the best schedule AA.com offered on the outbound]
To confirm my understanding of AA's rules, I will have no lounge access of any kind at any point on either the outbound or return journey, because AA doesn't consider BDA to be international-enough correct?
(I do have a UA club membership and may try to leverage it at PHL if nothing else)
Avoid the drama (and certain failure) of "leveraging" anything. Just pay for a one-day Admirals Club pass on each day of travel. EZ.
