Thanks. I saw that thread's title, but with the date of opening included, I thought it was the thread about its grand opening, not a general discussion feed.

Cheers

Was there yesterday afternoon. Still to-go only. They don't have any news yet about reopening. FWIW, there was a worker trimming the ivy on the wall.

Thanks for the update - was it the same Turkey wrap? Guess I'll go to TBIT for a 'swipe' to go so they know there is interest, then go to Admirals for the drinks

No, Southern theme now. It was a very nice fried chicken wrap with a very fresh coleslaw (not swimming in mayo). Chips came with a very good pimento cheese dip. Two cookies too.

Visited yesterday (5/2) Same box lunch with the southern theme as noted above. It was really good considering it was a boxed lunch. They offered coffee or tea, too. With TIBT not crowded it was easy to find space out there. Or do like the couple we later saw in Alaska lounge who brought it with them there.

And you could use the restroom which they escorted me to. I bet that type of service won't stick around after opening .

I asked about fully reopening (which I bet they're getting tired of being asked) and she was optimistic that it would be soon. Said something like "any day now."

With LA moving into the yellow tier, any update on the lounge opening up for indoor seating or at least extending the hours?

Talk about the ultimate sacrifice! You couldn't pay me to visit LAX if I didn't have to. In all the years I've been flying in and out of that miserable airport (nearly 40 now), it has never been more of a cluster than it is right now. Virtually everything is under construction and the arrivals level gridlock has returned with a vengeance.

Agree there are a lot of "in-n-outs" ( ) re this airport, personally I very much appreciate the weather-safe operations at LAX virtually year-round!

Btw, that chicken wrap is a nice grab&go item. Wondering, how tasty it is?

I thought the chicken wrap was good. It's a generous portion. The coleslaw adds a different taste. More spicy than creamy.

I know the hours at Centurion LAX lounge is 7a-3pm currently. Any idea what is the latest time one can grab a bag from the lounge? Right on the dot at 2:59pm or earlier?

P2 has an AA flight leaving at 5:25pm. He is one of those people that think that he should be at the airport at least two hours ahead for a domestic flight. Debating if I should take him to the airport a little earlier so he can grab a bag from the Centurion lounge, or if I should suggest him to try his chances at Alaska lounge. Yeah, I know, neither are great options.

A bag in the hand is worth two in the Club. Get there early and get the Grab 'n Go. You never know whether there will be room in the Alaska
Lounge. If there is, that your Centurion bag lunch with you into the Lounge and maybe hold on to it for your flight. If the Alaska Lounge is full
to their limited capacity, at least he'll have the grab & go bag.

Any idea if you can bring in a guest on a different airline flight? Or do they not scan the guests ticket? I'm going on a trip with a friend but he found a slightly cheaper flight out on a different airline, not sure if the lounge agent will consider them not a guest if we have different boarding passes

You currently can’t bring in anyone, or yourself, since the lounge is still grab and go. Normally, and at other clubs, the airline doesn’t matter, this isn’t an airline club. As long as the primary traveler satisfies the entry requirements, your guests can obtain access.
