Since we're all speculating...what if the problem is that the lounge continually fills up with CO˛ and the HVAC system is insufficient to keep us healthy?

I did the grab-and-go weekly from Spring 2020 until it closed earlier this year. I always used the restroom, just to keep an eye on the facilities.

Here's hoping it reopens before my flight to Hawaii for Christmas.
sorry but what is the *A lounge? do Platinum card holders have access to it?

Star Alliance - no, not at TBIT/LAX (unless you have Status)

Zero chance. Every commercial lease I've seen (and I see lots, they're a specialty) expressly excepts payment of rent from force majeure.

A standard commercial lease will not contain any provision excusing the tenant's nonpayment of rent due to the pandemic.

The TBIT Star Alliance lounge allows those with Star Alliance Gold in and, for a limited time, One World Sapphires and Emeralds can visit the Business lounge.

If you are flying F TPAC on certain airlines you can go to the First Class *A lounge.

Now I am at SFO and hit the CL first, now am in the AF lounge (PP), AS is next, then UC then I fly to SEA. I am a lounge addict.

What? Skipping the AC? You need to block more time between flights!

Went by the elevator to the lounge yesterday. That whole area is super dirty and dusty - like the cleaning crews don't even go in there.

But TBIT sure isn't a ghost town. There was plenty of activity and every restaurant I saw was open and serving people.

I wouldn't bet on it. Being LAX-based, I will be very happy if I am wrong!

Still the same as of today, no signs of life at the lounge but the huge displays at TBIT show an AmEx ad saying “Centurion Lounge reopening soon”.

They've had the "Centurion Lounge reopening soon" displays up for the last 2 months.

In time for Thanksgiving. But I'm flying DL and it probably makes more sense to use the SkyClub right?
