Just enjoying dinner in the Concorde Dining area at IAD although I don't really think I am entitled?
I arrived into IAD on the 217 and am connecting straight out to CLT on AA. The BA lounge in the B concourse is the oneworld lounge I should be using for AA so I handed my boarding pass and Concorde Room card (in a very non-DYKWIA way) and was offered the Dining area without question. Very pleasant it is too.
I'm guessing this isn't really within the rules though but would be grateful for future reference if anyone knows the proper answer.

Beef was very tasty and the lady brought me some tomato soup from the other lounge area.

Arrived in F on BA and did a same day connection on AA to LAX in domestic F. I went to the BA lounge before the AA flight honestly thinking that I might have access but was quickly sent on my way. Perhaps my mistake was not showing the inbound F bp and my CCR card.

However I just flew BA from IAD and had a nice meal with wine pairings in the CCR Dining area. I snapped this photo of the new menu that they said began a couple of days ago.

Ah ok. I always book my domestic flights around noon. At that time there are only a few Japanese guests in the lounge. I guess there must be a JAL flight around then or something.

JL does not fly to IAD. Now I'm trying to figure out who they would have been flying, as KE pax will use the AF lounge, and NH pax will use the LH lounge. Even QR pax are sent to the VS Clubhouse (and the flight times aren't right for the time of day you're discussing).

The new IAD Concorde Dining Room menu looks like a child (with poor IT skills) has written it. Certainly not on brand!

The soup, salad and pork belly were all good. But the cheese plate was a poor showing. The wines were not spectacular and I don't think they have Champagne anymore as it is Schlumberger sekt white and ros. The 2005 Churchill Port was pretty good though.

I don't know. But each time I go to the BA lounge around mid day there are a handful of Japanese people there. The staff are mostly at leisure and the bar in the back is roped off as is the Concorde Dining area. There are drinks and snacks in the middle area. Maybe there is an AA flight that connects to JL at JFK or something. Figure out what route that they would take from Washington to Tokyo if they are JL FF'ers.
