Inbound LHR-JFK 1st class
I have an inbound LHR-JFK flight in first class, and then fly domestic onward in 1st class. Since I will fly into JFK in 1st in a 3-cabin plane rather than flying out in a 3-cabin plane, can I still get into JFK`s Flagship lounge while I wait for my domestic flight?
Thanks.
Thanks.

2) First Class (any inventory) on an AA flight to/from/through Europe, Asia, and/or South America on the same calendar day
3) Non-AA First Class (any inventory) on an eligible OW-marketed, OW-operated flight...there aren't many departing from JFK...most are BA, CX, and QF.... and those flights depart from T7 (IB no longer offers First)
4) AA Executive Platinum status traveling on a OW-marketed, OW-operated flight(s) to/from though Europe, Asia, Central/South America, and/or Mexico City (MEX) on the same calendar day
