Master thread - Virgin Atlantic departures from LAX

Hi All,

Flying VS again for the first time in nearly 20 years (eesh, I'm getting old) out of LAX in December. Was doing some research to find out which lounge I can use (I'm a Skyteam EP flying premium economy) and am a bit confused about what terminal VS departs out of? The LAX website says that VS departs out of TBIT, while the VS website says it departs out of T2.... so which is it? Also, it looks like VS uses the Star Alliance lounge in TBIT, which leads me to believe they depart out of there... but then why do they make you check in at Terminal 2? I would prefer to use the Delta Lounge at T2/T3, but if they really make you check your bags in at T2 and then walk all the way to TBIT for your gate, then maybe it just makes more sense to use the KAL lounge (I know... i've heard horror stories, but at least it will be closer to the gate).

Any clarifications and advice are appreciated. Thanks!
