Was your AA number on the flight? I have a JetBlue flight next week, but I booked it too late to add my AA number.

I don't think it matters whether the FF number is AA's or JetBlue's on the boarding card. This summer we have accessed the Admirals Club while crediting to either program. Remember, people showing an Alaska Airlines boarding card would also be admitted, as long as they have the other entry credentials (membership or guest status).

It IS helpful to have a printed boarding card so that the Club AAngels can just give it a quick glance rather than fumbling with a smartphone.

Oh, and one more thing: At LaGuardia, the JetBlue gates are often in the other "pier" aka concourse. It's about a 15-minute walk from the Admirals Club, so make sure you leave with plenty of time.

AA's website currently says that Admirals Club members can access an AC when they present a boarding pass for same-day travel on an eligible flight, which they say here includes: any flight marketed and operated by JetBlue (excluding JetBlue flights operating to and from Europe).

I thought all elements of AA's reciprocity/relationship with JetBlue were disbanded. Can people really still access the AC when flying JetBlue n tickets issues after July 23, 2023?

OK. Accessed DCA D club with my B6 boarding bass. Admirals Club agents didn't bat an eye.

I suspect the rules will remain in place until all (or some very high percentage) of outstanding tickets sold prior to the cutoff date are flown--it would not be good form on AA's part to exclude any members that bought B6 tickets with the expectation of using the club. Perhaps AA will eventually start checking ticketing dates on each PNR to only permit "grandfathered" bookings into the club, but this is probably too much work for AC stafff.

Plus for non codeshare tickets issued directly by B6 for B6 operated flights, AA wouldnt have the ability to check that anyway

I have a B6 flight coming up out of EWR and I can't seem to find definitive information about whether it is possible to transit all three Terminal A concourses airside such that I could visit the new Admirals Club near gate A7 and then walk over to my B6 flight leaving from a gate in the 30s (A34 often, it seems). Does anyone happen to know the current status of EWR Terminal A airside connectivity?

Yes, the new Terminal A has a single TSA Checkpoint area for the whole terminal.
