Hello, this may not have been tested ever before but I am looking if I can access the Chelesea or Soho Lounge? at JFK
LHR to JFK (First- Z class) (arrive 6PM) (booked via etihad)
Seperate booking via AA (JFK to BOS) (same day) -Depart 9PM.
No status
My understanding was previously with flagship first dining, this was possible but now this is no longer a ffd?
If its not possible then I might just stay the night in NYC

You're flying LHR-JFK-BOS in F so it will be no problem to access Chelsea at JFK. Since these are separate tix make sure to save your LHR-JFK boarding pass to show for entry.

How does the partnership work with B6 now? Flying B6 with Qantas Club soon and curious if they treat like one world or not. The Qantas Club rules would indicate no not even on AA codeshare but on AA site it seems like B6 non-TATL is treated like oneworld for status purposes.

Flying BOS-JFK-SFO, with the JFK-SFO portion in Flagship First. Both on the same day.
Will I still get Admirals Club access in Boston due to the JFK-SFO portion, or is it only for international connections?
Thanks,
Mike

Did the same itinerary with JFK-SFO in Flagship J last year. I scanned the JFK-SFO boarding pass at the BOS AC and was granted access with no issue.

Flying Lax-jfk flagship business with Pp
I noticed on the one world website it mentions that flying flagship business or first on transcon allows lounge access and I have used the flagship lounge everytime at both airports but I wanted to know if this applied to other first class lounges with the emerald status? I wanted to check out the quanta’s first lounge at lax but didn’t know if the emerald access meant only for flagship lounges or all lounges

So if you're in business class you can use the Greenwich lounge at JFK, and the Flasghip Lounge at LAX. If you're in First then you can access the Chelsea or Soho lounges at JFK but still just the FL at LAX.
As an AA elite you must be traveling on a qualifying international itinerary to access the oneworld lounges at LAX. So if you were flying say LAX-LHR (in any class of service) you would have access to the QF F lounge, etc.

As an AA PLT Pro (or EXP) flying one of the special transcons status doesn't get you any lounge access benefits, only class of service.

thank you for the Info the oneworld website is very confusing with their restrictions, I do have a lax-Doh award flight coming up so I’ll get to check out the quanta’s lounge then.
