*** PLEASE NOTE: This post is specifically in reference to the
AA Flagship Lounges at ORD, DFW, LAX, MIA and soon PHL. It does
not pertain to the Admirals Club. ***
A purely hypothetical question just for the fun of it. If AA offered an annual membership to the Flagship Lounge, how much would you be willing to pay (if anything)? I am aware that anyone can purchase one-time-use access for $150 or 15,000 miles currently, but what if you could buy unlimited access for the whole year?
For the purposes of this thought experiment, let's assume membership would only be offered to elites Platinum and above for the purpose of access on domestic AA itineraries.
While we're at it, what if AA awarded such access at a certain (very high) threshold of loyalty point earnings?
