Now that AS is changing to T6 at LAX next year, does anyone know what lounge (if any) business class passengers will have access to? I doubt that AS will operate a lounge in a terminal they don't even serve, so maybe VA will take over?

There have been rumours about T3 getting a Virgin group lounge/ clubhouse when AS move out and that Virgin Atlantic might also move across. Failing that there's also a prospect that VA might move their services to somewhere closer to Delta given that VA and DL now an Antitrust exemption and will shortly start sharing services.
Might want to sniff/ask around in other forums about the Virgin Clubhouse plans.

As per the DJ/DL joint venture, VAus arrivals into LAX will arrive in T-5, to take advantage of the ICE facilities in addition to in-terminal DL onward connections.

Yes, but this is for inbound only. They still depart from T3 for the time being. It has been suggested on many occasions (some official) that there are plans in the works for a joint Virgin Group lounge at LAX in (i presume) T3. Obviously that would be dependent on a few other factors but it strikes me as a better than even chance once AS are gone.
