Both. Most of the time, it's been arriving on an international flight in AA J (typically TYO-LAX) and connecting to an AA domestic flight. Other times, it's been departing LAX domestically on AA with an international connection later in day (in DFW/JFK) on the same itinerary. Of course, absolutely no access issues either when departing LAX internationally on AA/CX/JL - which is fairly straightforward wrt access rules. I know I've read before the agents in this specific lounge can have a different interpretation of very clear (IMO) OW access rules - I've just never personally experienced that. In almost all the above instances, access was based on status and not simply on the basis of longhaul international first class travel.

Wow! That's quite the upgrade from the usual (pre-COVID) NV Taittinger!
