Just don't mention any domestic and you would be fine and a verbiage like " I am a British Airways Gold Guest List member on a Flagship international itinerary " would be enough.
Apologies but slightly confused here. Is access correctly granted on the basis of it being a GGL flying on a connecting flight on same booking from a BA longhaul? JFK-BOS isn't Flagship.

I am flying JER-LHR-HEL-JFK-MIA next year (All J with overnight in NYC) and was not expecting access TBH. All the flights are BA prefixed, BA ticket but of course HEL-JFK is Finnair.

I'll need to reread this thread to find the latest access rules.....
