Amazing! Wonder if that means the LAX AC will be opening their showers since it's essentially the same bank of showers for both lounge facilities (unlike the other open ACs/FLs where the showers are separated). Doubtful, I know.

I asked, and the answer was no for now, with the short-staffing excuse. I guess they can handle the shower usage load from the FL but not from the AC too. And perhaps they want to wait until they can reopen AC showers nationwide somewhat uniformly.

That's IF they plan to actually reopen AC showers. I could see them never coming back and flagship only.

LAX FF
Happy to confirm that today FF is open and showers are available - but no FF Dining yet. Lounge is pretty busy - about 2/3 full. Interesting that now after having been at the Centurion lounges around the USA and this is my first time back in Flagship First lounge - the Centurion lounges have better food hands down than FF - at least for the buffet offerings.

Per a TPG article posted today, DFW and ORD FLs are "reopening this spring." IIRC, another FT poster recently said an agent told them sometime in March for DFW, but I've got no idea how credible that estimate is (probably not very).
