My flights in/out of DUB in late Sept and early Oct were quite a hump from the main terminal. IIRC it was from D-65, it also meant no jetbridge for whatever reason. Good thing it wasn't inclement weather, but I couldn't imagine them doing this in the winter.
Back on topic, one of the postings I made on another thread was referenced, but things have changed as of November 1. We still do not know the COS or Booking code of the OP ticket. This is now the determining factor for "allowed" access to the lounge on an AA coded flight.
OP=please be more specific with your flight info so we can give you accurate info in return.

Right. Anyone and their mom can pay 25 Euros to access the Anna Livia lounge (for 3 hours), so no big whoop on exclusivity there.

The information on lounge access seems to almost change weekly
Well that is certainly good news, let's see how long it lasts
Anyone know of any arrangements at LHR, it used to be that if you were connecting to EI at LHR after arriving on AA in J, that you had access.

Eligible American Airlines passengers at Dublin Airport can use Aer Lingus' Gold Circle Lounge. The facility is open only to Business Class passengers departing on American Airlines.
Which is consistent with the reports from recently, and makes sense given the termination of the EI relationship on November 1st. Has anyone had any recent experience where non-J passengers have gotten lounge access?

I was only able to get one photo when I was in there the day before Thanksgiving. It reminded me of the Lufthansa Lounge at Zurich that AA was sending flyers to. They had some very similar looking seats.
Is it me or did they just move seats from the terminal into their lounge? Also, thanks for sharing all of your photos. I really enjoy them.^

Slightly OT (well, maybe not slightly), but why does the AA site recommend arriving at DUB 3 hours before the flight? Mrs. Catbert10 and I are returning from Dublin 1/1, and the thought of getting up early enough to be there at 7:30 already hurts.

Couldn't get into any lounge last spring
When I was connecting through Dublin. I was told my connection (not just my arriving flight) needed to be to a "J" seat and since I was EVIP, I was SOL. I wouldn't have cared so much but the Dublin airport is really the pits. There didn't seem to be enough places to sit, not much to look at, and too few restaurants. I ended up buying breakfast in a Corner Bakery look-alike that was completely horrid -- even the tea was bad (how can you mess up tea?) 
I guess the Golden Tiger hasn't yet reached the airport. Give me LHR and it's miles of things to do and great lounges over DUB anyday.
I'll be flying back through Dublin next spring as well but am avoiding the whole lounge situation by doing a full overnight stop in Dublin

I would add a bit of time to this -- maybe half an hour -- because I think I was a fairly light travel day/time. YMMV.
