Los Angeles LAX Sky Club: The Definitive Thread
Apologies if this knowledge is already posted, but I did a search without success...
I have a ton of travel transiting LAX with some long layovers coming up in May, so I was thinking about buying a 30 day pass since the LAX Sky Club has a shower. I've never been inside a Delta/NWA club with a shower, so I'd like to know if the showers are included in the admission.
Also another question, I'm assuming the drinks are gratis at all the Sky Clubs? I've only been inside the DTW location where they were free.
Definitely a lounge-rookie here.

One more question...
It appears the internet access at LAX is T-Mobile HotSpot. Does this mean there's no other internet access available unless one has a T-Mobile Hotspot account?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, no. Only "Transcontinental First Class Passengers" receive complimentary access.
(Emphasis added.)

Transcontinental First Class Passenger: Same day travel on a nonstop Delta flight between: JFK to/from Denver, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Portland, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, and San Francisco.

Just cause your on the LR and **happen** to be in actual business seats, means absolutely nothing. If you were on a 738 or 757 that day, nothing is different from DL's perspective. The service and everything besides the seat will be domestic first class services, as Business Elite only exists internationally. Enjoy your 3 1/2 hours of lie-flats, though.

I surely do with DL would recognize ATL-West Coast as premium transcon, but I'm sure they refuse due to the huge volume of pax who would receive lounge access with little or no added revenue.

To answer your question, no. Just because its a intercontinental aircraft with business seats doesn't mean you get lounge access. If you were on a flight from JFK (as mentioned above) or on a TATL/TPAC flight, you would get access.
Major USA airlines with transcons from JFK, EWR, or LGA with 2 or more transcon destinations:
DL - SLC (JFK and EWR); LAX, SFO, SEA, SAN, LAS, PHX, PDX (rest from JFK)
UA - LAX, SFO (JFK and EWR); DEN (EWR and LGA only)
AA - LAX (JFK and EWR); LAS, SAN, SFO, SEA (rest from JFK)
CO - DEN, LAS, LAX, SNA, PHX, SAN, SFO, SEA (all from EWR)
B6 - BUR, DEN, LAX, LAS, LGB, OAK, PHX, PDX, SMF, SLC, SAN, SFO, SJC, SEA (all from JFK)
Also, in NYC, DL competes against AA, UA and CO for the lucrative premium transcontinental market (transcontinental defined the way DL does in post#2 above). B6 also presents significant competition. AS and US to a more limited extent but still there.
At ATL, the competition is... Airtran.
