Thanks for this tool. Most of my travel is international. Without this tool, I did not realize that as a PLT I get access to the AC automatically. It may save me some money when my AC renewal comes up next year.
John – you’re very welcome. As a frequent international traveler on oneworld carriers myself, I’ve found learning the rules has been a big help at saving a few bucks. Glad to see you’re in the same boat, and I hope others can benefit too!
Very useful, thanks. Am now living in the US for a while but with BA Silver traveling domestic economy a lot with AA so it sounds like I’ll still have lounge access.
Yep, Jonathan, that’s how the rules read. Hopefully you can maintain your BA Silver status in future years to maintain lounge access.
Hi, thank you very much for this tool! Is there a difference if I am flying on an award ticket? I don’t see that option in the selection.
Thank you!
As long as you enter the Class of Service information correctly, I believe there’s no difference.
Hi there,
Quick question. I am flying on Malaysian Airlines and have BA silver status. Will I be able to bring in my my friend who’s flight number number is Malaysian Airlines but is operated by Thai Airlines. Same day/Same distination…
If you have the executive citi American credit card will you have acess to the flagship american lounge?
Better late than never – the Citi AAdvantage Executive card includes full Admirals a Club membership.
Kyle, thank you so much for thoughtfully providing this useful tool, and thanks again for recently updating it! Muito obrigado.
I am not sure about this. I am AA PLATINUM. Flying from BUENOS AIRES to DALLAS FW and connecting to PUERTO VALLARTA a couple of hours after my EZE-DFW flight.
Am I going to be able to enter the Admirals Club at DFW?
Won’t be a problem, just like if you were flying EZE-DFW-LAX, for example. The EZE-DFW leg qualifies you for access, so you retain that access through your immediate connections.
Hi Kyle –
Great tool! I want to make sure that I understand this. I will be flying GIG-JFK in J then connecting JFK-YYZ in Y (it’s a one class aircraft). Given that I am inbound from Brazil in J, I will be able to access the Admiral’s Club during my stopover, regardless of the class of service I’m flying on the connection?
Thanks in advance!
Yep, that’s right Stuart. Inbound in Business Class from Brazil you’ll have access to the Admirals Club no matter your following destination. Enjoy!
