SFO - MEX: Best routing option for AA Flagship Dining
I've been trying for a while now to find the best (economical) route for SFO-MEX via F: Ultimate goal is to fly F to have access to AA FLD
|
When you say FLD.. do you mean Flagship First Dining?
No matter what route you take, you wont have access to that. Well, unless you go SFO-JFK-MIA-MEX or something in 3 class F on the transcon. or are you trying to just go to the Flagship Lounge. Where there is a small buffet of food. |
The only way to get FFD would be to route via JFK in 3-cabin F. Not worth it for such a short flight to MEX!
|
How about the most direct routing |

SFO-LAX-LHR-JFK-MIA-MEX too. #MR |
I’ve a suggestion: fly SFO-LAX-MEX rather than squandering money and time, and dine at somewhere worthwhile. Pujol, Quintonil or some of the restaurants listed in this FT thread https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/mexi...annotated.html will blow the socks off eating at LAX Flagship Dining.

SFO/MEX via LAX itineraries can be pricey compared to connecting through DFW or PHX. I've purchased SFO/LAX/SFO and LAX/MEX/LAX independently in the past. |
I flew dfw-mex Friday in F and didn’t even remotely think of stopping by the temp lounge.

Right? Don’t think I would ever plan a trip based on a mediocre lounge that serves cafeteria food.
To each their own. Not to mention (echoing JDiver) you'll be landing in one of the world's greatest culinary cities, so you might as well get there as early as possible and enjoy another meal or three on the ground :D |

I type this right after I finished off a few tacos... in Mexico City. |
OP - Why do you want to make a special effort to get an itinerary for Flagship Dining?
|
Flagship dinning is way over hyped. Sorry
|
My recommendation (not AA unfortunately):
Do SFO-ZRH-MUC-FRA-MEX in F. You will have access to the F lounges in 3 different airports with excellent food. A bit of a detour and a bit more expensive. |
Thanks All!! Upon closer inspection I see that the upfront cabin on the routes, is actually in Business and not F. And I was under the impression that Flagship First Dinning would accessible for MEX if, for example the LAX/MIA-MEX leg was in actual first class. Or am I confusing myself with the fact that AC access would be granted because I'd be going to MEX. Hence, the reasons why I was eyeing LAX or MIA as departure places.
Nonetheless, I'll play around more with the SFO-LAX-SFO and LAX-MEX-LAX as it is the most convenient and look forward to much better dinning once on the ground in MEX. |
