Wow, I was seriously hoping that they would offer some sort of more substantial food offerings timed around the SYD departures/arrivals....

There is a skinny old lady in the LAX club who has an accent, who I thought was always helpful and nice.

For me, I have always found the agents at the LAX SC to be most friendly and helpful; they recognize regulars and inquire about their trip needs. My experience has been different--I love the LAX SC

SYD-LAX arrivals - access to SkyClub

If this has been asked and answered, I apologize. I did run several searches.

My brother, who is not a frequent traveler, will be flying on DL from SYD-LAX, then has a layover of almost 4 1/2 hours before departing for SEA on AS. He should have time to spare on his connection since he'll have carry-ons only. I know he'd love to shower during the layover in LAX, so I was considering buying him a one-day pass for Sky Club. However, I don't know what the setup is in T5 for Immigration and Customs. Will he be dumped out past security and thus unable to get back to Sky Club?

I'd buy him a pass for the AS lounge but it doesn't have showers.

Having done this run a few times this year, you do exit downstairs by baggage claim and will have to re-enter security to get back to the SC.

LAX SkyClub should be closed during remodeling

I am sure others will disagree but there are way to many people in it at times. I am surprised the fire marshall hasn't closed that place down. Way to many people in it at times to be healthy.

Well, I dunno about closing it completely, but it is awful crowded in there sometimes. As I have said in other posts, if I am at LAX anywhere after 8:00pm (where we not only have DL17, but allllll the red-eyes) I do not even bother anymore.

I walked in and walked out thats how bad it was. It litterally sounded, and smelled like a high school lunch room.

It wasn't that bad today. I've been here for several hours.

ATL's were the worst (at least from my experience), and they weren't under renovation.

How about they just put up a sign that says "This lounge is closed, unless you're not HWGeeks"

Then everyone wins!

No joke - there are signs up that say

"It may be a MAZEnow,
But when it's done it will be AMAZING"

(or something similar)

It is rather sad now. I hope they have an aggressive and fast renovation plan, for everyone's benefit.

I got there at 5:30a the other day and it was already packed.

In fairness, though, I always remember it being that way, even before the remodeling construction started. I guess that's why they're doing it!

How is it on Mondays between say 7:30 AM and 8:30 AM ?
