Anyone had luck recently getting access to the oneworld lounge when flying flagship business LAX to JFK? Thanks!

Denied entry. Stated this is only for first class on transcon AA. I showed them the website where it clearly says business or first, was told the website is wrong.

Did they scan your BP?

Nest time politely ask them to so. If it allows access, they will be told so, if not, the same. Takes them 2 seconds.

You may be able to try citing this clause, but you can't argue much if they turn you away. The wording is "between" but for all practical purpose it usually applies to lounge access before the short-haul as well.
https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges

Connecting between oneworld marketed and operated flights:
First and Business Class customers connecting on the same day of travel, or before 6am the following day, can access the lounge when travelling between an international long haul (a oneworld international long haul flight is defined as an international flight marketed and operated by any oneworld carrier with a scheduled flight time longer than 5 hours) and an international short haul or domestic flight (and vice-versa).
Lounge access will be determined on the international long haul ticketed flight (either First of Business Class) regardless of the ticketed class of travel on the international short haul or domestic flight.
You must be prepared to show your boarding pass or itinerary showing travel in First or Business class on the international long haul flight, in order to access the lounge before your international short haul or domestic flight.

Lounge for transatlantic J?
 
I’m flying in BA J to London and want to know what my best lounge option is. I also have Amex Plat. Skimming through this, it sounds like I can get into American Flagship (is this in T4? Connected airside to TBIT?)?

Looking for complimentary champagne and cocktails with good food. Preferably not too crowded, but hopefully all the lounges are not too crowded in the middle of the week.

You can try both the AA FL, and the OW Biz lounge without a problem, if you have the time.

Yes & Yes.
The airside connector is about a 6 to 7 minute walk.
Mid-week without specifying time, you could see plenty of business travelers.

If the connection is oneworld marketed and operated then you will have access as an AA Platinum on an international itinerary as long as it meets AA's criteria for "international"*.

* An "International" Itinerary" in relation to AAdvantage is travel not on solely domestic flights within the U.S. or between the U.S. and Canada, Mexico [except Mexico City], the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean.

I am BA Gold (OneWorld Emerald) and I'll be travelling with my parents (both have no status) from ORD-LAX-LAS in economy. I want to show them the lovely QF First lounge, though I know I can only guest one person normally. Is there any way to get both of them in? If not, is it possible to guest my mum into the QF First, and then bring my dad and guest him into the QF Business or the AA Flagship lounge? I've done lots of lounge hopping in LAX solo, but not sure the rules of guesting different people into different lounges, and whether this would flag up on their system?

Does anyone have any knowledge/insight into this? Thanks in advance!

Between QF F and the AA Flagship, I'd say you can probably do that and will not get caught. I would not do it between QF F and oneworld business. Do note that you are violating the guesting rule that you should stay with your guest, so be discrete.

Just wanting to get clarification although I think the answer is no but can I access OW J at LAX when flying to MEX or GUA with AA? Plat or J get me in or no to both b/c its North America?
