You can check out my full review of the lounge here. LoungeĪs a first class passenger, I had access to the Chelsea Lounge, located just beyond the security checkpoint on the upper level.

I had checked in already using the American Airlines mobile app, but by proceeding through this premium check-in area for ease of reaching the security checkpoint (you exit the check-in area in the front of the security line).

Only international first class passengers traveling on American Airlines or British Airways are allowed access, as well as those traveling in first class to Los Angeles or Orange County (American uses premium jets for these markets). Before entering your name is cross-checked against a passenger manifest. The first class check-in area has recently been refreshed and is much classier than before, with wood accents and velvet couches. Check-InĪmerican Airlines and British Airways operate jointly out of Terminal 8 at New York JFK. The difference in ground product alone is worth the upgrade. It was 7.5K points more than in business class, which made for an easy decision to choose first over business class. I booked my ticket the day before travel for 45K AAdvantage points plus $5.60 in taxes. I wrote about my first impressions of this flight, but inadvertently never published a full review. American Airlines A321T First Class Review While I believe that American Airlines has great potential, my rather depressing flight from New York to Los Angeles onboard the Airbus A321T in three-cabin first class was a huge disappointment and exposed so much of what is wrong at AA.
