Oops, I meant OW flights for the first sectors. Let me rephrase the two scenarios:
* If I fly CX in from HKG to SFO (arriving same day) and take a flight on the same day from SJC to LAS on SWA, I can still use the Admiral Club in SJC.
* If I fly AA from SJC to LAX and, say, UA to somewhere else, I can use lounges in both SJC and LAX. (By the way, I have not tried the Flagship Lounge in LAX. I would like to try out if I can.)

Am I correct? Thanks.

No, unfortunately. To have access to a NA AA lounge at the connecting point(s) of an international itinerary both your inbound and outbound flight must be OW flights, so in the first case above no access in SJC and in the second no access in LAX.

Thanks. According to Efrem, if I am on an OW flight, I can also go to the lounge in another airport on the same day (not necessarily of the departing OW flight). (BTW, I can use my MPC card. So I am not bound by the AA rule on international flights, I can benefit from the OW rule on OW flights.) I would just like to confirm one way or another.
