This is all great, but showers at clubs need to come back

I’m in the DFW flagship lounge now. well the AAngel opened it up for me to chill by myself for more privacy. Really nice of her. They open to public if needed for overflow as mentioned.

she said that she doesn’t think it will open until early next year, even though AA said this fall. Hopefully she’s wrong as I’m flying back here Dec 3 but that is definitely not “this fall” AA….

Thanks for the data point. Indeed, definitely not “this fall.” Disappointing to completely miss holiday traffic, knowing DFW has been pretty busy with flights that would qualify.

I was in today and was packed full with barely a seat free. When the LHR and CDG flights went it calmed down but seems plenty enough.trafic to reopen the Flagship

Heard the same thing about best guess early 2022 when I asked during my visit there a few days ago. I suppose technically AA has until late December to meet “fall” target.

Outstanding service and food at FFD JFK October 21





Just a few pics from my visit to FFD last month at JFK. I was in a rush but service was impeccable - friendly and efficient and super helpful. The champagne - Laurent-Perrier Grand Siecle ($150/bottle) was awesome and the food was absolutely delicious and most definitely restaurant quality.....warm cornbread, fennel salad and salmon tataki. Having visited a couple of times now since re-opening I really look forward to my visits (and curse the traffic delays from Manhattan meaning less time in FFD). Now open LAX FFD please!!!

Actually Dec 21st at 09:59 CST so that gives them a few extra hours to open just under the wire.

has anyone heard a date for the LAX flagship lounge to reopen? They seemed to honor the dates set for JFK and MIA IIRC.

As mentioned above, the LAX/DFW/ORD FLs are supposed to open by "later this fall." So, probably anytime between now and late-December would be within the window of what AA has announced.

Not sure the dessert menu has been posted. I had the dessert flight but would try something different next time.






While the steak was just OK, the the smoked trout appetizer and scallops dish absolutely brew me away! Fantastic flavor and textures, that’s what I’m looking forward to most whenever I return.

As far as I know, only paid access to the Flagship Lounge ( not Flagship First Dining ) is possible for $150 per entry.
