But I want to check again. Do I have any lounge access at JFK?
Routing: JFK-MIA in First on a 77E (night stopover) MIA-CDG on a 77E
Everything is on one ticket. In the online booking dialogue on AA.com the JFK-MIA flight is marked as "Flagship First". On the ticket the travel class is just described as First.
So officially by the rules no access at JFK since that is the day before your qualifying int'l flight.
However, I have found that most AA lounge agents are either just uninformed or do not enforce the same calendar day thing in these scenarios.
I have accessed AC's and FL's multiple times the day before my qualifying flight when on the same ticket. This includes at least 3 times at JFK flying JFK-LAX, overnight, then LAX-Asia.
When you enter the lounge, I always hand them both boarding passes and say something like "I'm on the way to Paris", usually they'll welcome you in.
