9. Oneworld won't build a lounge because the member airlines are cheap.
Conclusion: There is not a decent Oneworld lounge in LAX for the same reason there isn't in Tokyo. No airline claims it as a hub, so it won't be provided by a "host" airline, and so it is truly shared, and the costs will truly be shared.</font>
While I tend to agree, there are exceptions.
AA has two daily flights out of SCL and five codeshares operated by LA. Yet, they have a lounge in SCL comparable to the great LA lounge.
