DFW Flagship First Dining Access

Flying DFW -LHR on BA But ticketed as AA6949

Walked into DFW FL and was refused access to Flagship First Dining even though I’m flying in F. Was told no agreement exists between AA and BA forFlagship Dining at DFW or LHR

i thought that I would have access to Flagship Dining here in DFW

thoughts?

The agent is wrong.

these new terms were updated to make things clearer. BA need to urgently have a word - this confusion has been happening for a few weeks now.

Thanks for this information and I showed to the agent and she said the DFW FL and Flagship Lounge along with the LHR FL and Flagship Lounge are excluded from this agreement

You should have had access. I don’t know why the agent mentioned LHR, as there’s no Flagship First Dining there.

How frustrating, particularly as the published agreement ends with the following statement…

This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between you and American with respect to and governing your use of Flagship® Lounges, superseding any prior agreements between you and American”

  • A customer with a same-day ticket on American or a oneworld® airline in the first class cabin on a qualifying international or transcontinental flight automatically has access to Flagship® First Dining, located within certain select Flagship® Lounges.

These terms spell it out as clear as day IMO. All one world airlines on first flying from an airport that has FFD should be allowed in. OP should of been allowed in and a JFK to NRT should qualify via the language on their own site

Has anyone an update or any more clarity on this? Flying First DFW-LHR next month and was looking forward to FFD as part of the package - given that BA F customers have always had access here before COVID - no idea why its now changed???

Flagship First Dining is a published benefit for BA First passengers (covered under 'oneworld first class' as below).

A customer with a same-day ticket on American or a oneworld® airline in the first class cabin or on a Flagship® Business Plus fare on a qualifying international or transcontinental flight automatically has access to Flagship® First Dining, located within certain select Flagship® Lounges.
