First Class Dining at JFK After Long Connection from LHR
Flying LHR-xJFK-oLAS. Both flights on one PNR and JFK is a connection, although overnight and more than 12-hours after arrival from LHR.
I know I can use the Concorde Room at LHR.
Since I am connecting at JFK, will I be able to use First Class Dining at JFK the next day?

Platinum Pro, but if they consider the flight the next day an independent domestic flight, that won't help me much.

It's an award ticket. It was the only routing and schedule available.
Difficult because AA only has one flight a day between Vegas and JFK.
I can live without lounge access. I just won't get to the airport early.
Thx.

Is the JFK-LAS flight departing before 6 AM?
*Departing flight must be marketed and operated by American on the same day (or before 6 a.m. the following day). Customers traveling on airline industry non-revenue tickets are not eligible for access.

For what its worth - there was a recent report on the BA board that someone was able to access FFD the following day following an inbound BA F flight. (Two unicorns with the following day access and BA F inbound.)
Agree with everyone else that the rules are clear that you cannot access, but you never know

Does this mean you land at 745pm the prior night? Sound like the late LHR flight. I guess you could keep checking for availability on an earlier LHR flight *AND* the 545pm LAS flight. Or, is there a jet blue flight you can grab? I know it wouldn't give FFD but at least you'd get to Vegas a day earlier....

I believe the single visit pass is for Flagship Lounge access only (not FFD) - so, unfortunately, no LPGS or Blue Label. AA has offered FFD passes in the past for $100-$150/person, but only for those who already had Flagship Lounge access (which the OP likely will not have).

I was just hoping I could use the First Dining the next afternoon, but suspected the answer.
It really is rather odd rule since it is ticketed as a connecting flight, but AA being AA . . .
