The space is shared by AA and JL. AA AC members currently don't have access on US domestic itineraries, even as AC members, however as BA OWEs you have access regardless based on OW rules since the AA carve out for domestic flights isn't a consideration.

Thats no longer the case. AA is granting long haul Hawaii First Class passengers lounge access.

Although one would hope that soon enough AC members would actually have access... due to, I don't know, membership .

The HNL club is gonna be a zoo w all premium cabin pax plus AC members plus JL pax using it!!! Wow, I’m gonna guess that’s the end of a self serve bar there.

I wouldn't be too concerned on the one hand. I would think there is quite a bit of overlap between AC members and premium cabin flyers in general. And the shared space is huge.. Now the bathroom situation, being outside the lounge, might become an issue.

Quick answer is no. Not all F tickets = Flagship. Only select routes offer Flagship tickets (J or F). Theses are clearly shown on aa.com during the purchase process.

No, not all Hawaii flights are Flagship. Only the midcon flights (DFW/ORD/CLT, operated with widebody equipment) market the premium cabin as Flagship Business.
(so, the flights to/from LAX and PHX are not Flagship, for example)

Thanks. I paid for DFW-HNL in fare class D (Discount First/Business) so I guess that is not Flagship. I honestly cannot remember whether the Flagship label was there since I purchased this over a year ago and modified it twice.
