Apologies if this has been discussed.

Assuming they’re a member, under what circumstances does a B6 passenger have access to the admirals club?

1. If the ticket was booked through AA, do they have access?

2. If originating at JFK, can they clear security at T8 and then take the airside shuttle to T5?

3. If connecting in T5, can they ride the airside shuttle for the sole purpose of accessing the club? (I was told by a low level agent at T5 today that I only could ride the airside shuttle from T5 to T8 if I had a T8 boarding pass. Both of my tickets were booked through AA.)
