LAX Lounge
First time since shut down for us. So good to see Concierge / friends again. Two have taken retirement, and two are on longer work shifts. Had nice long chat to catch up..
we were in lounge about 1pm.....shocked how empty it was.
Main seating area..
Bar area, not busy at all.
Food choices, salad, soup, chips, prepackaged cookes and fruit. You must ask for what items you would like and they hand it off to you. Salad with chicken was good..saved potato chips for plane.

It seems to vary - I've been there twice on PP in the past month or so. The first time they had a tensabarrier and you had to ask, the second time it was serve yourself. The bottom of pcoll's post below the picture notes that you have to ask and they serve you. Not obvious if it depends on how crowded it is (not very, either time I was there) or whether LA county rules change with positive test rate & case count.

On Friday morning, the D lounge was at capacity. We were the last two people admitted and the three behind us in line were told they had to wait until three people left. Easy to maintain spacing but mask use was not enforced at all for those who were seated even if not eating or drinking.

Agreed. And I should have said it didn’t bother me in the least. I was just reporting in the same vein as the post above mine. Everyone was adequately spaced so no need for enforcement of those who were seated, IMO.

we were there in Tuesday. LA County had just gone from purple to red on COVID restrictions the week before.
They had area “roped” off. Yes, we had to ask for each item. Went back twice, no issue.
Really like that they have packaged potato chips.
Reminded me of the days when they had Tim’s Chips in lounge. So good onboard with a beer.

Does anyone know when PDX changed their lounge hours to close at 7:30pm? I could have sworn yesterday it said 9pm.

In the N lounge now. They have the same salads/packaged snacks as previously reported, in addition to cups with cheese cubes and a couple of “premium” trail mix type snacks in decent size bags. I don’t recall seeing these a month or so ago.

The trail mix looks better than the Chewy/Nutrigrain bars that they usually have, feel they are something you'd get in FC from the snack basket. I still have a few of those cookie packages in my pantry though from my last trip.

What's the beverage service currently in the lounge. Spirits available? For some reason I love Bloody Mary's when I travel and it doesn't seem that's going to be available in flight.

Full bar at ANC & SEA. Both have beer, wine & (free) spirits and premium offerings for a fee. Not sure about the others.
