Japan Airlines JL F out of ORD - which lounge?
Hello, for flying out of ORD in JL F, what lounge can I use? And when can I check in? I remember flying CX F out of ORD and went to the check in gate too early and there were no agents yet, wouldn't want that to happen again. Thanks in advance!

JL goes out of Terminal 3 (the AA terminal), you can use either the Flagship Lounge (First) or Admiral's Club (Biz). You won't have access to any oneworld lounges in Terminal 5. Someone else will have to help with when checkin opens.

I stumbled across this where someone seems to have taken the same flight out of ORD

For a SkyTeam flyer like me, could you all clarify the differences between Admirals Club and Flagship Lounge?
I haven't been in the ORD Admirals Club in at least 15 years, since I was a bicoastal college kid flying AA a lot. Will be on AA/JL connecting to the JL ORD-NRT flight in Business. No OW status.
And, am I right that JL arrives at Terminal 5 (the international terminal) but departs from Terminal 3 (the AA terminal)? Presumably, the tow the big bird from one to the other.

I have been able to clear security at T5 just to visit the two Priority Pass lounges, even when departing out of T3 - you just have to tell TSA, and they have to get a supervisor, and it's a PITA, but you can do it.
Wondering if you could access the BA F lounge in T5 this way if departing on JL in F.

No showers in the Flagship lounge. I like to shower and change prior to long hauls.
You will also get coupons for a bento box or sandwich. We skipped these in lieu of the F class catering. Which I also recommend doing if you are not immediatelly hungry.

Hi,
I couldn't find this information when I tried googling for it. But does anyone know how early the JAL check in desks open for the ORD flight? We will likely be connecting from DFW, but because AA won't check my bag through to TPE (my NRT to TPE flight will be on JL but on a separate PRN), I will likely get in early to ORD, pick up my bags, and check them in with JAL, since my understanding is JAL will check through even if two separate PRNs? The AA flight from DFW would get us in around 7:22 am. Will the JAL counters be open by then?
Thanks!

Thanks. That's good to know. Yeah.. I googled it and I didn't see the information on the JAL page that came up: https://www.jal.co.jp/en/inter/airport/ord/transit/
I even added "flyertalk" to my search (knowing how awesome everyone here is) since JAL doesn't have the most user friendly website, IMO, but nothing came up. Thanks again or sharing the information. I guess I should have spent more time on the JAL website and less time searching in this forum! I've just gotten so used to getting all my information here! LOL

Since you are on one PNR from DFW-ORD-NRT AA will probably NOT short check your bag to just ORD....
However, AA may check the bag through to TPE even though on 2 PNRs. Be sure and bring printed proof of the NRT-TPE PNR to show the DFW AA agent.
Good news: At ORD, AA and JL share the same Terminal 3 for this direction of your trip (not so for return to USA).
