Crowding has become an issue at this lounge during the morning and evening peaks as more long-haul flights get added at LAX.
The only thing I can think of is anything beyond the current contract hours must be super expensive. Have you ever been in the IAD Polaris lounge when it closes? You have to fight your way down the steps with all the employees exiting. Well, maybe that's a little bit of exaggeration.

But it does negatively impact the lounge experience as employees rush to get ahead of you and out the doors.
