Yup - in fact I will only have a little over 2 months of SG left before dropping down to PS - I will be Qp for another few months though .... - I am sorely tempted to get WP - and if they were doing kerbside check in for WP then it would be a definite for to go WP as well as EXP

It's a sad day when someone based in QAN's SYDneycentric HQ city, isn't able to justify loyalty to QFF (oh, well, AA is still 1W though, with a small Emerald/Sapphire FL/AC NA itinerary downcard [upcard of course is NA + system-wide bonus upgrades] ...)

But I am assuming the only future for QF's WP status is downgraded, given SQ PPS’s move & QFF’s recent lack of written commitment to AccessAnyTimeQP.

I have almost become convinced to fly J via Taiwan to the USA from 2008 (same price via HNL JQi *class + AA-YUPP767). (Congratulations to QAN group for making me think about paying more than Y! Poor move, delivering that increase to a competitor!)

Assuming you are on a AY flight to HEL, you will be departing from Terminal 2 Schengen area you will not have access to the BA lounge (non-Schengen area). AY use the Air France lounge in the Schengen area of Terminal 2, and that will be your only lounge choice for an AY flight to HEL.

AY have two lounge at HEL, one in the Schengen area and one past immigration in the non-Schengen area. You can visit the Schengen lounge first and then later pass through immigration processing and visit the other lounge. The two lounges are similar and reasonably basic as far as food and beverages are concerned.

BA has a Terraces lounge at DXB and is going to be your best option (if not your only option). CX uses the BA lounge at DXB and their flight is in the evening anyway.

There is no longer an Flagship Lounge at JFK, just an AAdmirals Club lounge. The only Flagship lounges left in the AA network are at LAX (thanks for QF paying for much of the construction and operation), Chicago and LHR T3.

The only OneWorld F lounge at DFW is the BA lounge at Terminal D. You will need to have OneWorld Emerald to try it. I just use the AAdmirals Club lounge and use my QF card to get some drinks vouchers. I have not tried to use the BA lounge and it is only open for a few hours before the BA flight departure which I think is somewhere around 3pm.

JL depart from JFK Terminal 1 and will have their own lounge facilities there, so no option for other lounges.

I had been told that I could go airside and use the Admirals Club. I have five hours and at costs want to avoid an AirFrance lounge.

That really surprises me. I know that DFW is the hub but surely most int'l flights depart from JFK?

Noted. By then I will be OWE but given the dragons reputations I might just head to the AC.

I walked past the old DFW Flagship Lounge location on the concourse in Terminal A last week.
The Flagship Lounge logos (below) are each side of the door and a sign indicating "Administrative Offices".
