I have never had a problem doing this until recently. In Dallas, the receptionist was downright rude, insisting that this was not a possibility. I asked her to call her supervisor who told her it was fine.
it happened again in Chicago, this time having to go through a process of getting permission
is this something others have experienced recently?
Just a note but for Flagship Lounges it's not a day pass but a single visit pass. You might be the first person to actually buy one of these
In all seriousness the value proposition of spending $150 for a few hours in a single FL is pretty bad. I'm guessing so few do the FL single visit pass thing that the agents just don't know they exist or are not familiar with how to process one (unlike AC day passes, which are much more common).
But in the future if you were to get any pushback I would start by directing the agent to aa.com, where it clearly lists the FL single visit pass option.
