Let's keep this thread and hope alive, I have a flight via ORD towards end of April...

All the other flagships are open already, only ORD is left, c'mon...

The thread doesn't need to be "kept alive" The FL will either re-open or it won't, irrespective of when your flight is. "Hope" doesn't play into FL re-opening dates. When it re-opens you can be assured someone will report it here.

Regards

I respectfully disagree and I am requesting FT prayers for the swift re-opening of the ORD flagship lounge. We don't believe in science or reason in much the US, only the power of hope, prayer, and manifesting desirable things in our lives...

I was there yesterday and the AC agent said they'd be surprised if it actually opened in April or even May. But, they said they were instructed to say to all customers that it will be opening "soon."

Oh believe me, I'd be thrilled to be wrong on this one! Let's see if they delay again or if it goes live!

Hi!

Will I be eligible for ORD FL access with BA Gold/OW Emerald while flying ORD-MSP on American Eagle? The flight was initially a mainline flight but the schedule changed a month or so back and it was switched to an A Eagle flight.
On AA.com it says access it granted to OW Sapphire or Emerald “on any American Airlines marketed or operated flight, or any Oneworld airline”, but I’m not sure whether they differentiate between mainline and regional when it comes to lounge access.

Thanks! ☺️

UA ORD Polaris Lounge has been open for a while. I would think AA would want to be competitive with UA's offering.

Yep, there's no differentiation between mainline and Eagle for lounge access purposes. No problem to access the FL due to you Emerald status through BA.
