I had this conondrum back in June. I arrived into C and was departing out of A on a flight to EZE (still annoyed they stuck it in A) with about 90 minutes. I went over to the FL and did not regret it. Self pour scotch, decent food, nice views of the tarmac. Definitely better than the standard AC experience.

Does anyone know if Flagship First Dining may be accessed by BA F pax who are arriving into DFW? I've read that it's available for departing BA pax, but wasn't sure if pax flying from LHR could use it.

I doubt anyone here knows the official policy, but even if the policy is technically departing F passengers only, the agents might not be trained specifically enough on that, and may admit you, since the agreement is new. This, of course, depends on your connecting to have airside access, and onto another OneWorld flight, in order to be able to access the FL.

Went thru FFD this past week and here is what I thought:
— You are allowed one entry per visit. You can choose when you want to access but it is only a one time invitation.
— small bottles of Krug and I ended up finishing two of them
— I had the roasted redfish and it was pretty good. The breaded oysters were nothing to write home about and the Chile verde was a good starter. Sundae wasn’t what I expected in a sundae.
I would rather eat at FFD and then get on the plane and go to sleep rather than wait out the meal service. Flagship lounge had plenty of options of food and they had a station making street tacos. I did not eat anything from the FL lounge since I was stuffed at FFD.

We've heard reports of multiple entries being allowed (I don't recall if any were specific to DFW).

Went back thru this morning and FFD was not open at 6am so no breakfast for me. All the Buffett options at Flagship looked pretty disappointing. grabbed a plate of fruit and hit up an Einstein’s instead.

I asked the lady in the FFD as well as the AAngel who escorts you. Both said it was a one time entry. You can stay in there as long as you like though and eat as much as you want. So I stayed inside most of the time and took my time eating, drinking and surfing the web.

My LHR departure leaves from A25 Sunday night. Ugh. It's a big inconvenience to trek all the way to D to hit the FL. I wish they would keep all departing International heavies at D. I'll just go to the AC in A now. Doesn't make sense to go all the way to D.

‘When did they start doing that? I hope mine on Monday is at D as I fly into D before my flight to LHR.
