But there is nothing unclear on the AS site. Access is granted to
Admirals Clubs on arrival or departure. Inability for any arriving passengers to access the Admirals Club does not in any way imply access to the arrivals lounge. Further, "Premium" lounges are specifically excluded--the AA arrivals lounge at LHR is for first/business ("Premium") passengers and select AA elites. I just don't see how one can read any ambiguity into the arrangement...
