Lounges in American Airlines
AA's main lounge is called the Admirals Club.
Membership costs $500 for the first year and $450 each year thereafter; you can also buy membership with AAdvantage miles, and obtain discounts based on your AAdvantage elite status. There is a discount for a married couple joining/renewing at the same time.
Oneworld Sapphire and Emerald members can use Admirals Clubs when travelling on a Oneworld itinerary that day; AAdvantage Platinum and Executive Platinum members can only take advantage of this when traveling on a same day international itinerary.
American also has a special first class lounge, called the Flagship Lounge, in Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, London-Heathrow and most recently New York - Kennedy John F. Kennedy International Airport. Access to the Flagship Lounge is available if you are traveling in first class to/from Europe, Asia, Central America, South America or Mexico City, or if you are traveling in first class on certain coast-to-coast transcontinental flights (in the case of LAX or SFO), or if you are an Executive Platinum/Oneworld Emerald member and otherwise eligible to use the Admirals Club. For first class transcons, you must be booked in F or Z inventory, but this does include AAdvantage awards. For international 3-cabin flights, you must be in First Class, but it doesn't matter how you got there.
London Heathrow also has an Arrivals Lounge open to all arriving first and business class passengers. Economy passengers can also use the lounge by paying US$90 plus VAT at the door. The lounge has showers, drinks, gym equipment and a business center.
