Can you access the Admirals Club when flying JetBlue
I was wondering if you can access the Admirals Club when flying JetBlue with the new partnership?
Would it make a difference if the ticket is an AA codeshare?

According to https://www.aa.com/i18n/travel-info/...lub-access.jsp
Yes if on an AA flight number ( A boarding pass for same-day travel on an eligible flight. An eligible flight includes any departing or arriving flight that is marketed or operated by American )
No if on a Jetblue flight number

You need to be booked on the AA flight number

got it, I understand what youre saying, IMO, AA wrote this poorly in the sentence any departing or arriving flight that is marketed or operated by American I think they should have replaced the word flight with reservation, because technically the flight itself is marketed by AA!

A boarding pass for same-day travel on an eligible flight. An eligible flight includes any departing or arriving flight that is marketed or operated by American or marketed and operated by any oneworld airline. Same-day priority verification cards will be accepted.
While the reservation may not have a AA flight number, the flight itself is, in fact marketed by more than one airline.

regardless of how you eould like to interpet it, you need a boarding pass that is either for
A flight operated by AA - it could be AAnn or AAnn sold as B6nn
or
A flight marketed by AA - it could be B6 nn sold as AAnn or AAnn
If the boarding pass does not reference that the travel is for a flight operated by AA or for a flight marketed by AA, then will be out of luck
As it says, what is needed is a A boarding pass for same-day travel on an eligible flight. - A boarding pass for a flight that is both marketed by and operated by Jetblue, does not meet either criterion
A flight operated by AA - it could be AAnn or AAnn sold as B6nn

I think at best AAs language is ambiguous and at worst its misleading, it doesnt specify anything about how the reservation is ticketed only that the flight be marketed as an AA flight.

It is hardly ambiguous and I think that the man on the Clapham omnibus would not find it misleading that the flight refers to the flight that you are booked on

Agree, but I am not going to buy a ticket without an AA flight number on it and try to get into the AC

And I think the issue where people need to be aware of, is when booking on a third party site like Expedia or Travelocity. As those sites will display fares for both the B6 flight number and the AA flight number.

This has been standard language for eons, not just in this instance, but across a spectrum of benefits and/or restrictions associated to the marketing carrier of one's ticket. "Marketed" in the industry parlance means flight number associated with the carrier in question, thus AA flight number = AA Marketed, B6 flight number = B6 Marketed. Operated, of course, refers to who's metal the flight is on..
