As a general rule, I usually prefer arriving into SFO, but I assume that with the Polaris lounge located in the international terminal and my transcon flight departing from terminal 3, would that actually be easier in LAX or are both fine in that regard?
While I would normally suggest LAX for the more intimate lounge and ease of T7, lately more LAX-EWR planes are 757-200’s which I would avoid.
Additionally, SYD flights land at the Tom Bradley International Terminal and it’s a long walk to T7 from there… so SFO may be the better option.
