I was at SFO Centurion last Friday and will be back in two days. I always check in on the app, which usually states how busy it is.
The CL has self serve hot and fresh food. The UL has self serve packaged food. I go to the CL first, AF/KLM lounge second, JAL third, the AL fourth, the UL fifth.
I am at LAX also nearly every week and hope the CL reopens. Now that the *A lounge is open, I have little reason to go to the UL, which is one of the best but the *A has showers, self pour alcohol, an outdoor patio with fire pits...not even Polaris competes with that.
My travel has resulted in my reaching 1K by the end of 2021 without the need for the Fly To The Finish bonuses (but was helped by the Q1 incentives). This year I have bemoaned the lack of Polaris lounges on FT. I have had no issues this year, or last, with getting admitted to any CL and have only ever been met by polite and cheerful front desk receptionists at the CL. Obviously others have had other experiences but please do not attribute my comments to not flying for the past 19 months.
Where is the CL at LAX? I was not aware the was a CL at LAX. I have used the AS lounge at LAX with my AMEX card but it is quite small and cramped.
