Looks like they are closing earlier in winter, and secondly that "the kitchen ran out of gas". I was thinking that maybe they decided to restrict again the amount of OWE flying domestic AA again, but looking at the number of international oneworld flights departing past 9pm from LAX, there were not that many so maybe the excuse was genuine. Anyway, just to warn anybody flying out of LAX past 8.30pm and wanting to visit that lounge.
Maybe something up wtih the kitchen yes or incompetent agent not realizing you had access but also I believe QF 12 has been leaving earlier. I could be wrong but thought i saw on some days it left at 830 instead of the usual 1030 in this season.
Definitely strange though. I usually have seen last call for food around 930 ish & have showered late there maybe 10/1015.
