I tried looking to see if the LAX-MIA leg is a flagship route but all it says is PREMIUM on the website. I think it used to say “business” or “flagship business” before. Any ideas?
thanks in advance.
Lima is only AC access so at best the way things stand now it would be AC access. Assuming LAX is the same day or the red eye the night before you should be able to have access to the AC at LAX no problem.
If you get LAX-MIA in J and it is on a widebody then that is what counts as "Flagship" for that route and you would be able to use the FL at LAX as well as at MIA (by virtue of arriving from LAX on that route).
The actual marketing of that route as Flagship or not is confusing and dont go by that. It needs to be a 777 or 787.
