I can either take the LAX-DFW that leaves just before midnight the day before my DFW-HND, or the one that leaves shortly after midnight on the day of my DFW-HND. The goal will for both segments to be on the same reservation. I also have AA Plat Pro.
Would either of these qualify?
For the QF lounges, no. Your international flight has to leave before 6am the following day. If it's the same itinerary then AA would probably let you into the FL. I've done it before on the same flight you're talking about but was connecting to AA's HND flight, not JL.
That's an awful red-eye flight BTW, I wouldn't want to do it again. Don't think I slept at all, doing it again I'd rather take an earlier flight and get a hotel at DFW.
