Guide to AA Flagship First Dining Qualifications, Access & Related
When I was at FFD at JFK several months ago before the changes with BA, the hostess just inside the door to FFD made a point of saying that I as welcome to come back as often as I wished. When I used FFD at DFW shortly after the program started, the agent at the FL desk that took me over to FFD asked if I wanted you go in right away or wait a bit - which I interpreted as single access. I see the DFW FFD does not open until noon, but my flight is much later in the day. Anyone know if you can re-enter FFD at DFW mulitple times the same day? I'd prefer the upgraded bubbly - whatever it may be - but not 6 hours of it!!!

100% yes come and go as much as you want. In particular the DFW crew are very chill , usually younger staff as a host/@ the door.

When I asked why they insist on escorting you in at DFW, they said they were having "a lot" of people sell or give away their invitations. I do find it a (minor) annoyance to need to go back to the desk to be escorted in.

Thats interesting to hear, wouldnt have thought ppl are selling them. Maybe it was a one or two time thing and the agent is embellishing. Once the host, servers etc meet you/know you're good to go to be inside I have never had any problems coming and going. To make phone calls, use the restroom, just walk around, etc or hours later when coming back to the terminal. I dont even bother asking for another invitation. |

I agree...I can't imagine this was very widespread. However, I do know that pre-COVID (and maybe still now) they would have a LOT of people try to come in to FFD at DFW without qualifying (maybe 8-10 per hour) so there is apparently demand.

Flagship First Dining at JFK is no more; it has been replaced by the AA/BA Chelsea Lounge. Except for Concierge Key members, no guests are allowed for passengers traveling on transcontinental flights.

I visited the new Chelsea Lounge twice last week. The ambiance of the lounge is posh and refined despite having no natural light (the Champagne bar is particularly nice with its lovely crystal chandelier). As others have noted, despite being listed on (most of) the wine lists, they did not have Krug during either of my visits. I did enjoy the Ruinart blanc de blanc and Moet Rose Imperial during my first visit, and the “off menu” Laurent Perrier Grand Siecle and Laurent Perrier Rose during my second visit. The sit down dining area is nice and the wait staff is friendly, albeit the pace of service could use some work (diners were walking to the bar to get drinks because it was taking so long for the wait staff to bring them). The food was good, but not as good as FFD IMO. The Caesar salad and mushroom toast were okay at best; the tomato soup was tasty; and the lamb tagine was excellent (on my first visit; no sauce on my second visit which left it lacking). Overall, once it finds its rhythm, I think the Chelsea Lounge will be a fine spot for a premium ground experience, but I still miss FFD (it’s also a lot busier than FFD).
