Once your flight from LAX arrives, I suggest you to walk fast to the lounge to maximize your experience there.
Turns out that neither LAX-AUH-BOM (with the TATL slightly late) nor the DEL-AUH-LAX (on time) gave me anything more than a chance for a brisk walk to my next gate to get just 5 minutes at the proximate lounge to my gate (neither being the F lounch). The return especially was chaotic (DEL-AUH-transfer anywhere). Stairs full of people, halls full of people,I had a car transfer on the tarmac, and would have missed my flight if I hadn't just ducked under a cordon and get behind someone at a screening station (must have been well more than an hour wait).
So ironic to have the bottleneck at security be the bigger risk than to what they are trying to prevent.
