I’the printed access rules still allow Qantas lounge access if in J on LAX-MIA, and I have been there in Feb.

so, what’s your basis for your statement? Something written? Personal experience?

If that is the case, it would indeed be surprising. AA won't even let you in to their own Flagship Lounge on a LAX-MIA flight based on flying in J:

Get access if you’re traveling in First or Business on a qualifying international or transcontinental flight marketed and operated by American or a oneworld® airline.*

Qualifying First and Business class

Qualifying transcontinental flights

Non-stop flights between:

1. New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX)
2. JFK and San Francisco (SFO)

Qantas removed the domestic exceptions from their LAX lounge website; American is denying travelers in domestic F on the MIA-LAX routes from accessing FL or even Admirals Club at both MIA and LAX (and updated FL access rules on their website as such) and anecdotes on FT and elsewhere suggest access has been terminated.

I admit I have not personally tried to access on this itinerary. Could be worth trying but go in with no expectations and you won't be disappointed

Thanks for the specific reference to the Qantas LAX lounge website. (What AA says for their lounges isn't the question). The rules you cite also apply to LAX-JFK (i.e., no carve out for that route either). Three class aircraft don't appear in any of the OneWorld or Qantas Lounge acees rules.

I'm not sure if you are referring to reports on the QANTAS lounge or AA lounges. The opening up of FL lounge in LAX to passengers with sufficient status on certain domestic routes happened while the LAX Admirals Club was closed, and by the time it opened, there were no 3 class planes to MIA anymore. I don't think the current access rules are any different in practice from the way it was on AA two years ago (unless somehow they brought back a 77W on this route).

On the other hand, in February, I was granted access to the Qantas J lounge with a J ticket LAX-MIA.

LAX-MIA B777 Service is back-on? noticed it this past weekend.

I saw 772 service on the MIA-LAX when booking PE BCN-MIA-LAX. Here's hoping that my PE-fare coded, Y-seated ticket puts me in a PE hard product on the 5-6 hour domestic leg..

econometrics

AA Cargo shows AA1508 as 1x Thursdays on 772 / AA396 as daily on 772 until 30 June.

July-Aug:

AA396 daily 772 until 20 Aug.
AA314 daily 772 20 Aug - 31 Aug.

Because it's a transcon and EXP on ex-JFK transcons (SFO/LAX) can use the FL? I am stuck on a B737 MIA-LAX on an upcoming trip connecting to LAX-HKG in F. I have too short a connection in LAX to use the lounge, but assume I am welcome to use FL in MIA? EXP BTW.

I don't think we have lounge access via LAX-MIA at all. We used to in the past, but alas AA has taken that away

teemuflyer

Because you can if you are a non-AA OWS or OWE, or you you are connecting to another qualifying flight, such as an Int'l LH and are in J or above on that flight, or being an AA frequent flyer and you are PLT or above.

The connecting TPAC flight will allow you entry into the FL in MIA and should also allow you to use the Flagship First Dining (I believe). You can also use the flagship check in at MIA due to EXP/int'l F ticket combo and bypass the pre-check line.

Will be starting that very long day in CUN, just connecting through MIA and LAX. 4.5 hour layover in MIA though, will check on FFD.
