I was surprised to learn that one can use AA club within 12 hours of arrival according to AA website
Citi Prestige card holders must present a standby ticket or boarding pass (other than a non-revenue ticket or boarding pass for airline employee travel), showing an American, American Eagle carrier flight number departing within 12 hours. (If visiting at an arrival airport, flight can be no more than 12 hours prior to the visit,)

If my wife is an AU on my Prestige and is traveling on an AA award international using AA metal and CX on the long haul. ex ATL>ORD>HKG>MNL. will she be allowed in the Admirals club, also traveling with 2 children will they. I believe the answer is yes because she would have been on AA metal between ATL and ORD. she has a fairly long layover there and I would like for them to be able to wait in the club.

Although some have reported, from time to time, that their AUs were admitted, those were likely due to the agents at the clubs not knowing how to properly process the Prestige cards. AUs are not granted Admirals Club access.

AU cards do not have that printed on them.

Does Citi Prestige allow access to Admiral's Club at the arriving airport as well?
We're flying on AA 100 Economy to LHR, and are wondering if we can use the Prestige to access the Admiral's Club in Terminal 3 upon arrival so we can shower. We would have boarding passes from the previous night, so I'm assuming it doesn't work, but not sure.
If not, we'll just use AA passes.

Prestige does allow access to the Admirals Club following a flight, but you will not be able to access the Heathrow club due to airport security restrictions. There is a separate facility for arriving passengers, but it is not an Admirals Club, and you will not have access to it.

So assuming LHR is our final destination (at least for that day), we would not be able to access the AA Lounge? Does that also include the NO.1 HEATHROW Priority Pass Lounge?

EDIT- do you mean this one?

So it's a AA lounge but only for First/Business passengers?
