For LAX, because of the recent renovation, PP is easily denied. Lounge closed at 8 pm for everyone. Been there 4 times, denied twice. I always visited on a Saturday evening around 6-7. There are many transcon leaving at 8 or 9, so it's going to be busy all the time. Note, when there is a sign at the elevator, it's full, don't bother go upstairs. Told the renovation will end in June/August, I can't remember which month, lol.
