That's why I wonder if the "most premium lounge" might be branded as "BA Concorde Room" after all.
I'm sure AA would like the badge of having the most premium lounge, but that's a double edged sword for AA on US soil. If it's branded as an AA lounge, then what precedent does it set for the rest of their US Flagship First network?
If it's branded as a BA lounge, but with (some) AA customers allowed in under "local arrangements", then AA can pick and choose the access requirements that suit them, without setting a precedent for their other US lounges.
I doubt anyone knows for sure - no doubt they're still chewing over the details
Edit: My gut feeling, is that the most premium lounge
won't be branded as a BA CCR, but it would solve a lot of thorny issues.
