They actually are pretty clear. Your status would give you access regardless which class of services you are flying if you were flying on qualifying routes.

Qualifying international flights

Flights with seats ticketed as Flagship® between the U.S. and:

  • Asia
  • Australia
  • Europe
  • Middle East
  • New Zealand
  • South America (excluding Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Peru, Suriname and Venezuela)

You can, however, use the Admirals Club since you are flying to/from other international locations with status.
