Oh wow. I have never heard of Priority Pass. Thats a neat club. After I use up my gold/silver memberships in a few years this might be a good option.

Ooooh! Priority Pass.. only $27
I'm a priority pass member so I'll do that from now on!
$27 is better than $40

Just noticed that the wording on the VX Loft website has changed to no longer include LAX-ORD as one of the routes which gets access. I was allowed in on December 24th, so this is a fairly recent change. It was nice while it lasted...

Now that the VX Loft has arrangements with Priority Pass and Lounge Club, has the revenue stream improved to the point where they could restore the better food?
Has anything changed in recent months, or is it still the same as it was in December?

I was there maybe a month ago with my priority pass and the food was pretty basic/lame. I hadn't been in before, but from what I've read it used to be better. I doubt it will improve.

Oops, you're right -- just realized IAD/SFO/JFK are all VS lounges. I don't feel so bad now that I know that the SFO lounge isn't even in T2, so I'd still have to get to T2 early to clear security. Ah well.

I should have read this thread before picking the $40 upcharge. Given the dinner hour of my flight, I figured this was surely better food than the dreadful Gladstone's in this terminal.
I've just had PB&J and bulk chocolate chip cookies for dinner.
There are at least three full-time staff members here. This has to be a money pit for the airline.
It's certainly not the VS Clubhouse nor even SFO's Cat Cora.
