Thanks much!

Do note that there is no FL at DFW at the moment and there is a temporary premium lounge. May be better off going to the AC.

Lounge access - arrive on AA, depart on another airline
 

Hi all,

I currently have a KOA - LAX ticket in MCE. I am oneworld emerald. I may connect onwards from LAX on delta or united. Will I get Admirals club lounge access. From the website it seems like I will.
Also looks like there will be a change from 2019 Nov? When in this case I more likely would not be allowed access?

Rules from the site:
""""""""'

oneworld® Emerald and Sapphire

Includes customers on all flights marketed and operated by American or a oneworld® airline (regardless of cabin). AAdvantage® Executive Platinum, Platinum Pro and Platinum customers traveling solely on North American itineraries don't qualify.

To enter

You’ll need 2 items:

• Qualifying boarding pass with oneworld Frequent Flyer number
• Government-issued photo ID

No, to access any lounge via your oneworld status you need an onward flight on a oneworld carrier, so no access since your onward flight would be on DL or UA. This is what is meant by the rules saying you need a qualifying boarding pass, although its worded better on the oneworld site rather than the aa.com language above.

The Nov 2019 changes are only applicable if you're accessing the club via an Admirals Club membership, so that wouldn't apply here.

@serfty was kind enough to answer my question shown above with a yes. But I am back again. When I got to the airport this morning, I found that I had grabbed my son's passport instead of mine. $461 poorer, I am flying the same itinerary (MDE-MIA-DFW-TUS) this afternoon and now have an overnight in MIA. The interesting thing is, my MIA-DFW flight leaves before 6 a.m. Am I correct in assuming that I have lounge access both in the evening after I arrive in MIA and in the morning before leaving for DFW? If so, would I also have access in DFW while waiting for the TUS flight?

I do have a hotel in MIA, but it would be nice to grab something to eat before heading to the hotel and then breakfast in the morning. The lounge access in DFW isn't really a big deal, as my layover is only 90 minutes, but it would be good to have some place to go if the departure is delayed.

First of all.. Ooops ;-)

You won't have access to the lounges in MIA upon arrival since you'll have to exit the airside while clearing CBP and Customs and you will not be regranted access until the next morning for your DFW flight. You should have access to the FL in MIA the next morning as your flight is before 6:00 AM, but it will be iffy in DFW. Worth trying though.

Thanks! I don't know why it never occurred to me that I would be on the wrong side of security - I've only flown MDE-MIA 100+ times. :) The app had us listed as arriving at gate D32, and I had fantasies about walking right off the plane to the FL. I suppose the worry about the almost-blown trip distracted me.

Even if they would let me go through security, it wouldn't be worth the effort..

I've been going through various posts and have a related question / advice wanted...

I'm a Brit with only BA Bronze (OneWorld Ruby) status. Flying from LHR into PHL on BA (business class) landing at 7.10 pm. My "connecting" flight to LAX on AA (in business again) departs at 8.10 am the next day.

What chance do I have of ANY lounge access at PHL in the morning?
Thanks

Well, there is a very good chance if you are willing to pay $59 for a day pass. Unfortunately, that is the only way. :(

Note: I am assuming that your morning flight is separately booked on AA and not part of your BA itinerary. If you were flying business on a BA ticket that might be different. I'll have to defer to others if that is the case.

Thanks, that's what I feared (no access). However, it is actually one AA ticket (OSL-KOA) with the first two hops on BA metal so I still hold out some hope...

Thanks I will try!
Annoyingly after this flight I will hit Silver/Sapphire status.

Last time I was at LAX, got into the Admirals Club with a International Business ticket, but could not get into the Flagship area; that was for First only...not Business. Looks like Flagship now allows J Int'l in ?
