I'll probably check in on this in a couple weeks when it is more relevant, but are they still allowing regional F --> J connections free access to AS? Asking as Mom is flying CAI-DOH-US in J (A and D fare classes) early next month and I was going to purchase her a pass to AS as a Christmas gift, but don't want to do that if she gets in free regardless . If she is denied access, can she purchase it at the lounge?

Either way, is there a page on the official website that states the access policy (either this or the prior restrictions)? I could have sworn I saw it somewhere on there but I cannot find it.
