I have a flight on Copa mid-August; hoping by then ANZ reopens it! Otherwise I'll just stick to the Admirals or Alaska lounge for 4 hours :/

Don't think AirNZ will be the hinge pin for the LAX longue, they won't have more Pax flights than they do now by August.

It will be the load factors & frequency of the other *A airlines, which will dictate the reopening of the longue.

Can anybody confirm if Air NZ are actually the operator of this lounge now? I was pretty sure I read somewhere a while ago (before Covid) that they were stepping away from this.

It'll probably be 12 months before Air NZ have any significant numbers of passengers going through the lounge, there is very little likelihood of New Zealand allowing any significant numbers of people into the country until well into 2022.
