Boarding from TBIT was an utter madhouse too. No signage for defined lines, and the GAs started boarding everyone until they were told by other AA staff to restrict to First then Biz, etc.
F was very good. It's in the same league as CX 77W in my opinion, but not quite as good. The salad was average, carpaccio was blah, and crab cakes were good. Port was not available, nor was a cheese plate offered. Seat is amazing for a domestic flight, a little awkward compared to CX F, but now we are splitting hairs.
Is there a special lounge for 3-class transcon passengers flying MIA-LAX, or is it just the AC at MIA?

2. Qantas even for domestic? Been to this lounge hundreds of times, never domestic.

Wasn't the former Flagship Lounge on the second level just to the left of the elevators up to the current Premium Lounge?

Anyone opinions on the breakfast options?
Chai Quinoa Chai Quinoa
apple chips, toasted coconut, dried cranberries
Cream Cheese Omelette Cream Cheese Omelette
hot smoked salmon hash, béarnaise sauce
Strawberry Rhubarb Galette Strawberry Rhubarb Galette
vanilla sauce, grilled asparagus, chicken chipolata sausage
Can't seem to find any info on them. What's the best choice
Also, I'll be flying J from LAX-MIA then connecting to YYZ. Which lounge should I visit? I can go to the Qantas one @ LAX correct?

Just saw my SWU cleared this AM for my Tuesday flight on the 77W from LAX-MIA. I love this flight in J
I have a 3 hour layover in MIA before heading on to MCO. And I have AC membership. Looks like I can use the OW Club in Terminal E. I usually hang out at the Centurion club but it gets really crowded.

J & F Differences?
Flying MIA - LAX next week in J but may move into F just to experience it. I have flown LAX-LHR in J but I am curious on this domestic route what are the key differences between F & J? Is F worth the experience?

F is comparable to international F. No caviar, etc, but the seat quality and IFE is there.
If you have experienced international F, then I would say it's not worth the experience. Then again, my personal opinion is that international F is excessive and not worth the marginal cost. Other people disagree.
