Morning all

Trying to decide if it’s worth upgrading to F coming home from DFW on what I think is the new 787-10 next Christmas. Do we know if BA F pax get access to Flagship F dining? The various blogs would suggest yes, but MMB still says “Premium Lounge” which seems to have closed since the Flagship lounge opened.

Help?

Thanks in advance

BA192 pax booked and ticketed in F are eligible and welcome to use pre-flight dining in AA’s flagship lounge. And very nice it is too

I concur with Confus. Having travelled in F on BA192 DFW-LHR earlier this month, you do get access to the Flagship lounge and the Flagship First dining was excellent.

Just travelled on the BA192 from DFW to LHR in F and enjoyed pre-flight dining in the AA Flagship Lounge in Terminal D (where the 192 departs from). Dining was pro-actively offered at the check-in podium. It seemed to involve photocopying boarding passes (to invoice BA?) and then escorting you to the dining room in order confirm eligibility with the gatekeeper there. I mention this as there are threads elsewhere saying some staff do not understand the rules, On this occasion, the staff were excellent, including the engaging staff in the dining room who explained the menu and its connection with some local suppliers. Along with excellent shower facilities (i.e. spacious) and rapid security screening using new machines (nothing out the bag and no shoes off), this all made the DFW experience excellent and a port of departure choice.

They do this at MIA too - I think it's more about creating a 'first class' experience than re-confirming eligibility, because you can choose not to go straight to FFD if you like and then go of your own accord (with the paper invite) later.

Yes - you get access to Flagship First Dining, which is pretty good. You can hang out in the dining room for as long as you like. The main Flagship lounge is also very nice.
All in all a much better experience at DFW that it used to be (although the chaotic gate experience remains!!)

Can we also access Flagship First Dining when arriving at DFW on BA in F (connecting on AA domestic)?
