I am loving that Ocean Citron is now a running in-joke.
I've always found the LAX AS Lounge staff to be extremely nice to me, and the staff working the bar to make a good Bloody Mary, but other than that, I've usually found it to be an absolute zoo. I only really drop in sometimes around noon before LAX-DCA if I have access, and the lounge will be bursting at the seams to the point where I've seen folks sit on the floor. At that point you might as well head back to the gate.
