The ability to access AA Flagship Lounges as a BAEC Silver when traveling domestic itineraries is a game-changer.
Booking award travel isn't really in the cards for some time--the smaller amount of travel I still do is just sufficient to maintain status. Flaagship Lounge access would be nice, but I do not typically fly out of/into locations that have them so no game-chager for me.
