Your biggest problem is the 2 separate bookings. If AA recognizes it, of course you will get lounge access. But if not, there is nothing you can really do.



You will get lounge access, but not because in J. Again - AA does not offer domestic lounge access. So in order to trigger lounge access, you must have a qualifying international segment with the "same day of travel, or before 6am the following day" requirement. The international segment is the key for AC access for F/J/OW elite.
Okay, great. This makes sense. We have the first leg on Day 1 evening and second and third (JAL) legs the following day. For the outbound. Inbound all in one day (technically, bc of time zones). I am mulling over how best to ticket all this with points where they are. It galls me that I might have to use 120k on BA for the same ticket on AA with 60k. But I’ve blown a bunch of AA and am short. Thanks for all the details re lounge. Much appreciated!
