Not that I've not had a few rough rides on "this" side, but nothing like the Atlantic side.
The LAX lounge situation has changed twice, post-LA OW. For a time, LA was using the *A lounge, and now they're back to the OW lounge. Probably a simple case of what the lounges want to charge LA per visit.
I have decided to do the DEN-LAX-SCL route on LATAM. I am good with OW lounge. Its not as nice as the *A lounge at LAX (my opinion), but anything is better than the Korean Air lounge at LAX (at least the last time I had access to it on a Xiamen Air flight pre-COVID).
