So, really naive question. If I get upgraded to J on international flight, which has happened to me more than once but always inbound coming home, am I then privileged to cross the blessed threshold of the Flagship Lounge? Or back to the AAdmirals Club for me? Do they just look at your ticket or subject you to a background check and a full body scan? (As additional information currently Platinum, but do not expect to requalify organically).
Other than that, was the green stuff next to the post on the serving table broccoli (overused) or bok choy (underappreciated)?

AA doesn't distinguish between paid, award, or upgrade when it comes to lounge access. Yes, if you upgrade a long haul flight to business then you can access the FL's, both on departure and arrival (assuming you have an onward connection that would get you back airside).
Am I to assume they just look at the seat number on the boarding pass and in you go?
Might have missed an opportunity last spring. (But to tell you the truth the pictured of the food don't look that much better than the AAC--but there is more variety).

Yes, when you check in to the lounge they scan your BP and see that you're departing on (or connecting from) a qualifying flight in business class and welcome you in.

Tonight is my 4th visit over the course of 3 weeks and the menu hasn't changed once. Salmon, pork chops, and gnocchi for the hot main courses.
I am missing the beef stroganoff sort of thing that goes so well with a Napa cab, which BTW is Robert Craig tonight.

I think through this month it’s that pork chop, which really isn’t my favorite. Neither is the Tex-Mex or southwest Gnocchi. However, it you're there after 3pm, the street taco bar has been pretty good, albeit no beef either. Chicken or a vegetarian option.

Flagship Lounge looks awesome. I'm flying through DFW in BA Club World in a week and then back through in AA Flagship Business in a little over a month from now. Would love to visit this lounge as I have a long layover both times. Only issue is I'm only 20 and I'm assuming with the self serve booze, the rules probably say you need to be 21 to get in. How strict are they on enforcing that and what are my chances of getting tossed to the Admirals Club instead? Wouldn't touch a drop of booze in there either way, would just rather be here than the Admirals Club.

Questions regarding DFW flagship lounge?
Im going to be flying LGA-DFW-ICN with an overnight connection @ DFW prior to the morning flight to ICN. Im flying F to DFW & J to ICN.
1) Will I have access to the flagship lounge the night prior to my flight, connecting to ICN?
2) How far is the flagship lounge from the Grand Hyatt DFW (terminal location) to the Flagship Lounge?
thank you in advance for your help

2: Not far at all, it's above the ticketing area so just take the elevator down to the terminal.

1. technically no, but have had success after an evening connecting flight with a morning departure.
2. really close. The hotel is just outside of security that is basically right across from the Admirals Club/Flagship Lounge entrance. Really conveneint

Update on this in case there's any under 21's lurking here looking for data points, I was let into the DFW FL last night without my age ever being questioned. Only issue I had getting in was that they originally took my DFW-JAX boarding pass which for some reason was denying access despite flying OSL-LHR-DFW-JAX all in business and first, but when the LHR-DFW boarding pass was scanned instead, there was no issue. But I was let in and I'll continue to update as I visit this lounge more in the future.

Just a plug for the DFW FL, where most of my FL visits take place, does a fantastic job keeping their wine glasses spot free! Kind of a pet peeve for me. Miami isn’t bad either, but outside of wanting that pork chop ditched, DFW FL employees do a very good job. Cheers!

Is the AC in the E/Satellite terminal open or does it exist? It's listed on AA app but I didn't see it on the list of clubs at top of thread and didn't see any recent information searching the thread. It's also sort of "grayed out" on google maps whereas all the other DFW locations have the little cocktail glass symbol beside them and you can click to bring up more info. I'm flying TUL-DFW-TYR in March, and I strongly suspect I'll be leaving from that terminal if not both arriving and leaving, so it'd be awesome if there's a tiny club there like at LAX. If I do fly into a "real" terminal I'm trying to figure out if it's worth trying to visit another AC or just go straight to E. I'm assuming also it's similar to LAX and I'll have account for time to catch a shuttle to get to the satellite gates. Thanks for any info!

E is connected via Skylink but does require an underground tunnel to get to the AC and gates (the AC is on the mezzanine, below the remote concourse). No buses required, it's just a bit of a longer walk.
