Please forgive the stupid question but I can’t find a definitive answer to this one.
I’m an AA EXP flying J (UUA) PHX-LHR. My AA number is on the booking and my BP should show emerald. Will I be admitted to the F side of the lounge? I ask as this is a contract lounge and I’m not sure if it follows the OW rules during BA’s use or if they limit F to ticketed pax and BA Golds.

It seems that The Club lounge will close on April 19 (as reported in the PHX airport thread on the AA forum and also mentioned by dylanks here) to be replaced with new Escape and Amex Centurion lounges "from December 2019 or January 2020". Will BA move to one of the Admirals Clubs (presumably low B one) in the interim?

Can confirm that BA J (not sure about Golds:First) are shoved into the temp pen which is awful. Service is by server not help yourself Space is tiny, there’s less than 50 seats. Food and drink is ordered off a photocopied menu.
I’m going to investigate the AA Admirals club options.

We headed to the temporary lounge, got as far as the desk and like previous posters left and headed to the Admirals club at B5, where the lady on the front desk didn't seem remotely surprised to see us. In time there appeared to be most of the lounge eligible people on the BA288 flight in the AA lounge rather than the appalling temporary lounge.
The AA lounge is surprisingly good, with reasonable food choices available and friendly staff, until the new lounge is open I recommend it.

New lounge @ PHX
The new lounge(s) resulting from the remodeling of the old Priority Lounge near gate B25 will be open at the end of the year/early 2020. Half will be an American Centurion lounge and the other half a more generic lounge (Priority?) that will be used for BA elites on BA288. No access at this moment for AA elites on AA 194, who will be directed to the B5 lounge. Tried to access the temporary one at B11 without success. Sounds like I did not miss much!

Yes, apparently so. Will definitely make PHX slightly more attractive for connections!
