Before that, since May 1st, 2014 airside access at LAX for any terminal has simply required your boarding pass and ID for a flight departing that day from any LAX terminal.
So, even if departing from T2 (for example) you can still get airside at TBIT your T2 BP. Or, say if an A/C member, that T2 BP will get you access to the T4 A/C.

However, if you have no LAX departing boarding pass you may be denied access to airside areas of LAX.
Requesting a gate pass to visit the Club from the ticket counter is no longer approved by AA, and buying a refundable ticket to go airside is against CoC. So, your best bet is to call the Admirals Club Service Center at least one working day in advance, declare a business interest - perhaps you'll need to use the business machines before you get picked up - and arrange for that gate pass that will allow you airside to access the Club.

I've got an access question based on QF international arrival, connecting to a QF-marketed, WS-operated flight. Status is OW Sapphire via QF. Arriving from BNE on QF in Y.
My friend is flying this, with a 5 hour layover, and I'm trying to convince him that he might as well try to get into the OW lounge before heading over to the WestJet terminal (I think T2), because he'll already be @ TBIT upon arrival. He really doesn't have much to lose.
I don't think he'll have access rights because he's not departing on a OW flight (I don't think the QF flight number will help here), but wanted to check and make sure there's not an international arrivals exception. I would like to arm him with the correct information, regardless of whether he tries to get in or not.
Thanks!

With an inbound INTL flight on AA and then connecting to AS (AA flight #) serveral hours later, would I have Qantas F access as EXP?
"Must be traveling on a oneworld marketed and operated flight ("qualifying flight") and be
departing in, or connecting from, first class on a oneworld international flight of over 5 hours, or
traveling in first class on a three-class domestic flight (currently LAX-JFK and some LAX-MIA), or
a oneworld Emerald cardholder."
Must the qualifying flight be outgoing? It doesn't qualify if an incoming flight meeting those conditions is sufficient.

Will I have issues accessing Quantas F lounge? Thank you

outbound: BP scanned, no questions asked
inbound: curious look at BP by lounge attendant who asked to see the HKG-DFW BP from the previous day. access granted, no issues. it was likely against the rules since it was used as an arrival lounge.
Korean tacos and salmon omelette were excellent

Can anyone confirm that they have in fact been let in to the OneWorld business lounge at TBIT when flying business on the LAX-MIA 77w transcon? I am EXP and it says that we are technically allowed access but I'm getting conflicting reports from this thread...

LAX-MIA F Class / EXP QF Lounge
I too am getting conflicting info from this thread. What are the rules for LAX-MIA F-class or J-Class passengers accessing the QF lounge when departing TBIT? To be clear, this is without an onward int'l connection
Thanks!
Thanks!

Check the Wiki - Premium cabin travel on some LAX-MIA flights can confer such access.
The "some" I believe refers to three class services.
