With nearly four hours before our Singapore flight and a pleasant day in LA, we decided to walk to the new TBIT and check-in.















This may be a new terminal but security is an awful experience. The good news is that there is a priority lane. The bad news is that it is virtually useless... the lane goes to an ID checker about half way thru a single queue for all pax. So we joined a queue of about 75 pax.

The Star Alliance First Class Lounge is a major improvement over the old one. But really nothing exciting.

















The FCL has a made to order menu which one can eat at your seat on in the dining area.







Limited self serve area which supplements the order menu.













The Star Alliance Gold/Business Lounge is actually far more inviting.















Especially the outside terrace overlooking the new TBIT shopping mall.















And back inside, a couple of themed sitting areas.
