I had the pleasure of the LAX FL on May 13 - the AC opened at 5.15 and so did the FL. My wife and I were the first and only in there for the first 45 mins or so....

Flagship lounge access in LAX
Will be taking the family (wife + baby daughter) to Disney world Orlando for vacation. Flying from HKG to LAX on CX ticket and separately purchased the domestic flight to MCO on AA (coach class).
1. I've got a long stopver at LAX before my AA flight and as a Oneworld Emerald, from reading the AA website, I should have access to the Flagship lounge at LAX along with 1 guest. I assume that they will treat my wife and baby daughter as 1 guest right? Anyone had issues of such nature with the AA staff?
2. What lounges are available at MCO other than the BA one?

as far as mco goes i would check and see if the ba flight leaves around the same time as your flight

further question - from reading these boards it appears the CX lounge in LAX is abit of a dump hence on the return leg, is it possible to check in for my CX flight and pop back over to T4 to use the FL?

Be forewarned. Many of the FL gate guardians will use any excuse to keep out children. We have four children and I have had the the "one guest rule" invoked several times until I point out my two young daughters are also EXP, entitling us collectively to three guests.

LAX lounges
Excuse me but I am gonna take advantage of this thread and ask a question that I'm sure could be answered if I searched--
I don't fly in/out of LAX very often. This weekend I will arrive LAX on AA, connecting to CX (J class) for HKG flight, and the following week end the reverse.
As EXP, what are my lounge options?

CX has a lounge that you will be able to go to but its probably the worst in CX network. Its small and crowded. They do have an extra "first class" room at the back that you are entitled to sit in because you are EXP, but its even smaller with no food or drinks.

Wife + 2 children is one thing, and I have never had a problem at the FL in BOS...but I can see how wife + 4 children pushes the limit. Being one of 5 children myself, I take offense to that, but c'est la vie.
OT, IMO, going from 2 children to 3/4 children, when traveling, is a exponential increase in cost/challenge/complexity, etc.
