4/3 JFK to WRO Poland, over the next 3 weeks going to Prague, Vienna, Milan, Florence, Rome, Venice, Warsaw, Krakow (for march of the living), and Amsterdam. Headed back from Amsterdam the 26th. If anyone knows of places to stay in those cities or nearby cities that I could add to my itinerary please PM it'd be greatly appreciated.

You have access to the US lounge (no matter what airline you're flying) with a plat.

US is in a separate terminal.

Was in LGA yesterday.  Had a ticket for concourse C but wanted to use the AA lounge in D.  TSA agent in C said I would not be able to enter D.  People here have posted being able to get a gate pass with CO for CO lounges, was wondering if perhaps AA would do the same for me to get in to concourse C.  Security line for D was non existent so we tried to get through anyways.  TSA agent reminded me that my boarding pass was for C and that I was entering D.  I let him know that we were aware of it, just wanted to visit the AA lounge.  He let us through with no more questions.  Either that TSA agent did something very wrong, or the first TSA agent I spoke to was incorrect, or YMMV.


Side note: There is currently no US lounge in LGA.  From the US website:

New York (LGA)
New club opening late 2012.
During construction, club members can visit the Delta Sky Club in Terminal C once it reopens in July 2012.


No idea if the "get in to the US Air club regardless of which airline you're flying" would extend to the Delta Sky Club with your plat or not.

I guess the threads were combined.

But no cigar.

Either way not worth driving for 4,500 Avios.
