To be honest, I'd much rather spend my time at the Star Alliance lounge over at TBIT, even though it's a bit of a trek to get there from T6.

Sorry for the blurry images......

Thanks for the photos.

This was the "bar" in T2. Does the new MLL look like there is less selection?

Don't worry, it's there! Hidden inside the cabinet/fridge underneath the counter.

Looks quite similar to me. I don't drink alcohol due to Asian flush but if I did, I would be quite happy with the selection.

I know a few that suffer from that condition and they use Peptid AC, although it is probably not the best thing to do. A quick Google finds this article

There's also some studies that show, while these medications do block the flushing reaction, there are some side-effects that are worth noting.

The major side effect is that you can get drunk a lot quicker!

No. This isn't the same location. The CO PC, later a UC, was on the concourse level of the terminal. This is upstairs, on the same mezzanine as the Alaska Lounge.

AC agent suggested that I show them the MLL t's and c's but I had already gotten on my flight.

I strongly believe that this is actually UA's fault, given that the MLL agent's manager said that a UA manager had told the AC manager to exclude UA golds, which actually sounds plausible.

Does this new T6 MLL have a view over the airport - the outlook from the T2 MLL was great.

A UA manager does not have the authority to do this - sounds like BS to me.

I checked out the new LAX MLL for the evening flight back to YYC. T2 was the worst so I'm really glad they moved to T6. It was my first time in the terminal.

The food options were NOT improved at all for "dinner". Same usual stuff found at other MLL's. However, I did really enjoy the new space! Has it's own washroom lol. It's definitely smaller but it has great views. I personally really like the furniture/styling. Bar options are the same. It wasn't very busy as well, which was a nice change from T2 MLL.

I think this will definitely change if/when UA *G's get access and take over the lounge... Not sure what the deal is with AC bending *A policy? I was flying AC J so I didn't get to test out trying to get in as UA*G. If my Lat FP doesn't clear for the next one I'll report back as a 1K trying to get in

Checked out AS in T6 using PP and it was much busier + it was a dump.

If it's a morning flight, don't waste your time - the UC will be much better. This morning had a very depressing offering of cold muffins, stale oatmeal, some juices, toast, jelly and maybe some dry cereal but I wasn't sure.

If I didn't have a two hour drive from Riverside, I would have arrived earlier and gone to TBIT or the UC for breakfast.
