Doesn’t make much sense to me. On an average night what is the true F capacity from LAX on OW:

BA - 30 (LHR x3)
QF - 28 (SYD and MEL)
AA - 24 (LHR x2 and SYD)
CX - 6 (HKG x1)

That’s a bit less than it used to be but honestly it’s been a fairly stable number for as long as the lounge has been open.

I’m not convinced OWE numbers have increased much post-COVID either.

I pass through this lounge 5 or 6 times a year and it’s never close to capacity (and hasn’t been since I started using it regularly in 2017) so I’m at a loss as to what has really changed that would prompt this restriction.
