I'm a OW sapphire with BA. I'm arriving into JFK T8 from LHR at 820PM. I have a connecting domestic flight out of T8 again at 559AM. From what I understand, I'll have access to the Flagship lounge both after I arrive and before I depart on my morning connection (just barely if the 6AM rule still applies).
Arriving from LHR, I'll need to go through customs and immigration which then dumps me out landside. So my question is: will the TSA allow me back airside into T8 that night before my early morning flight assuming I have that boarding pass in hand? I know they eventually kick folks out after the last flight but it'd be nice to at least have a shower and dinner in the lounge instead of spending about 7 hrs at an airport dunkin donuts....
Thanks in advance for your help.

Accessing a lounge that costs thousands to access on a PAID ticket or thousands of miles flown on to gain proper status to access the lounge WHAAAA? and your staying at Dunkin Donuts for the night? I mean you do you but that is quite bizarre.

Spending 10 hours at DD because you don't want to spend $100 for a priceline 3-4 star hotel doesn't make a lot of sense to me. It's one thing if the club was 24 hours but it's not. It's another thing if it was 4-5 hours. There is a huge difference. But like I said you do you. It's one thing if one can't afford it but were not talking about that.

Compared to a shower in the lounge, then a good nap in the gate area, it seems that if OP can get airside, it's not a bad idea.

People should be welcomed to ask questions on here without our judging them for the choices they make simply because they’re different than the choices we would make. But you do you and go ahead and judge if that makes you happy.

Went by yesterday arriving at about 3:00 and leaving at 4:30. I handed the agent my JFK-CLT BP and she went "uh, Charlotte?" and I said I'd come in from Madrid on Iberia. She asked for that boarding pass and I gently suggested she scan what I offered her and as soon as she did she saw I had access, I wish they'd just scan first and ask questions later
The lounge was half full when I arrived but was nearly at capacity when I left
Booze selections are a little worse than when I was last here (December, 2018). There's no more Glenlivet it seems
Food, however, was excellent. I had a confit duck leg and potatoes plus some sole and it was all very good.
