Which Lounge to access if flying Southwest from LAX
I have Priority Pass and considering that there are no lounges at the terminal LUV flies from and considering T1, T2 and T3 and not connected.

Less than a month ago, LAX posted on Google Plus that one can get into any terminal if they had a boarding pass and that probably means even international if you are flying domestic.

I think the bigger question is why do you want to spend more time at LAX than absolutely necessary? That whole airport is awful.
There's no PreCheck at TBIT (at least there wasn't the last time I went over there).

+1. If you absolutely must access a club, it's likely quicker to walk across the parking area to one of the United Clubs, but PP will no longer work there after mid-May.

Just realized, wouldn't terminal 2 be closer than either T3 or T7? In which case Maple Leaf lounge could be an option or is it not worth it?

I doubt the average Southwest passenger would be interested- at least at the price level it would take to keep a lounge open. And connecting passengers aren't there long enough for it to be worth it. Many are 40 minutes or direct service where you don't deplane.

You might be right but given how bad T1 is and also the fact that a lot of business travelers take LUV, many probably already hold a Platinum card. The risk to reward for Amex Centurion would be totally worth it. If it does not take off, write off $10 million in losses. If it does, you are opening doors to a much wider audience.
