Shouldnt matter but also first class on all legs.
Didn’t want to fight, but left a very bad taste even insisting that international itinerary was what matter not that it was a domestic leg.
Am I wrong?
The OW site is obnoxiously cloudy on this point imo
a) first/business passengers get lounge access at connections
b) AAdvantage members do not get lounge access when traveling "solely" in US regardless of tier or class of service
So it's up to the actual meaning of that "solely" I'd say...
