Personally would look for a cheap rental from lga and u won't have to fill gas cuz its a short distance, and granted that ur not pressed for time, and if its not much of a hassle with the 3 of you.
And if you want to add it to your rental count like I would want to do.
Renting a car for a 20 minute drive? The hassle is worth way less than $50.

Lounge is nothing special.
Oh well, saved Avios if nothing else.

Can you confirm that guests aren't allowed in Flagship lounges?

Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Just remembered I have a $75 groundlink voucher that I got for $4.
Assuming that ought to cover the transfer.

I said a cheap rental, I have found from hertz SA for $29 a day and its worth it if I'm trying to get a status with hertz  but again that's just me and for me I don't care the small hassle, but maybe not for family and someone that has status already

I just confirmed. Seems he's right.

But, with a Y ticket to get past security + AmEx Plat, it seems that'd be the ticket in (sorry for the pun).

AMEX Plat won't get you into the Flagship Lounge.

But an F ticket would ;)

Ha, not sure I can swing a full-fare F ticket :P

Any chance you'd meet us in T4 at "The Lounge" ?

Or we can do the AA regular lounge before security?

(Terminal 8, Concourse B, before Security, above the international ticket lobby)

Plat + ticket will def get us in there...

With EXP international or F ticket?  Think there would be a difference?  Any source on AA.com/FT either way?

Does the picture I attached not show it? I guess I could be reading it wrong, but it says:

AA International Premium Class, oneworld
International Premium Class

gets only:

1 guest (First Class passengers only)

That says to me that F pax are allowed to bring in 1 guest each.
Sounds like Flagship Lounge it is!

Wow, I'm tired. It seems I totally misread that.

Listen, we can definitely try it. Worst comes to worst, we adapt on the fly (sorry for the pun again).

If not I could rent a car and meet you at the airport. It'd be cheaper then a cab. And I could pick you up food for the flight.
