New Lounges at LAX
Anyone got an update for when the new lounges will be open?
I see someone else has got their lounges open:
http://www.staralliance.com/en/press...thAmerica.html
Passengers at the lounge will be able to enjoy an assortment of food and beverages from the home countries of the resident Star Alliance airlines. There will be a rotating selection of premium wines, champagnes and beers from the USA and also from Germany, Korea, Japan, Switzerland, Singapore and Thailand. Depending on the time of day, appropriate breakfast, lunch and dinner foods will be served, including hot soups, noodles and sushi.
Good grief. Bratwurst and Pissenwasser.

Interesting - however the temporary lounge wasn't as bad as I'd have thought.
I did well booking Air New Zealand in September by the looks of it to fly back to LHR.

I don't think NZ use TBIT (T2?), flyclub, and I thought that was the only place the lounges were being re-done? Happy to be proved wrong!

G-BOAC is correct, Air NZ don't use TBIT, but Terminal 2. The following *A airlines do use TBIT: ANA, Asiana, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, SWISS and THAI.

Star Alliance is currently developing two other lounges at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 1 and at Paris Charles de Gaulle Terminal 1, both slated to open in 2008.

Excellent news! We've been waiting for this for a long time. After reading the press release, I'm wondering if the lounge will be big enough -- the release said that it would accommodate 260 passengers. That's not that many for all the airlines that will be using the lounge during peak hours. But I can't wait to try it out.
