ThaiDan if you look at https://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-...eaccess/LAX/-1 you can assume that QR will use the 'oneworld Los Angeles Lounge' for business class passengers when they move to TBIT.
If you have Emerald OW status with any OW airline, not just QR, then you will be able to use the 'Qantas First Lounge'.

21 airlines at LAX are moving in mid May including Qatar. Dates for moves are May 12, 14, and 16. This will make connections with AA easier as it is possible to stay airside when arriving on AA and going on from TBIT.

SanDiego1K thank you for pointing out the scale of the changes at LAX.
In this thread, and previous threads a factor has been ignored. That is the disruption caused by all the changes! I know nothing about LAX but I can imagine that for a week or two many will be milling around trying to find where they should go to check-in etc. This could be a cause of congestion and delays.
So to all QR passengers: Remember to allow extra time during and just after all these changes. You may need it!

Qantas, which has developed and will manage the new facilities on behalf of its fellow oneworld member, has partnered with Sofitel to offer a service experience consistent with the standards across its Sydney, Melbourne, Hong Kong and Singapore lounges.

Funny they brand the first class lounge with "Qantas" but not the business class lounge.

LAX Oneworld Business class lounge is joint ran or owned or leased by British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas. That is why all three airlines have staff manning the desk. Whereas Qantas First Lounge is exclusively ran by Qantas. Qantas might be responsible for running the oneworld business class lounge, but in principle, BA and CX both have stakes in this lounge together with QF.

You make a good point. But for those of us who fly into LAX on an AA flight, it's a big win. We will be able to stay within security and walk thru the tunnel from AA to TBIT.

I flew out of LAX a few days ago on QR. I was told by two different QR employees that the move to the Bradley Terminal will be on May 1st.
