Okay, so I just checked in for my flights this afternoon, and I saw some interesting things:
Looks like most flights today are using gate B22 in T4...
Inbound flights providing equipment to LAX flights look like:
DL155 from MAN
DL163 from AGP
I'll update later today with info on shuttles.

This aligns with my recollection from the last time that I used it a few years ago.

I can confirm it is outside of security.

ah, that is too bad. i looked at the map, it appears all lounges in t4 are landside, with the exception of the Emirates and Air India Lounge.
i am a bit torn as to what is the better play- to use the CRC's and take the shuttle bus over, or to use the Oasis lounge (again, assuming entry is allowed) and deal with security right before you board.

For me security is just too much of an unknown and I'd be too worried/stressed to enjoy a lounge before crossing security. Even if a line is short, it just takes one or two people to slow things ups...
I am always amazed that there are STILL people who don't know about the the rules on fluids...

The shuttle arrives at gate B23 in T4, the normal bussing operation gate for the terminal. It is pretty well located across from the gates Delta will be using.
Should be fun having multiple LAX departures from T4. This morning Virgin America's 7:30am LAX flight departed earlier than the 700am Delta!

The more I think about it this just seems like a dumb move. This is a premium route that now has flyers schleping around on busses, no CRC and a third party lounge that can only be used on business class international fares, which JFK to LAX isn't.

The LAX-JFK flights seem to still be arriving in T3/T2. Can anyone confirm this?

As for me, my Freedom flight to JFK today is so terribly delayed I won't make my connection, so I'll have to do the T4 dance some other day. Love to hear any reports of how it goes, though...

If the Oasis lounge is airside in T4, then it seems like this whole thing may be an upgrade (assuming we can get in).
I have to believe they will tweak the biz class intl flight requirement given the terminal move.
If anyone hears, or experiences the lounge policy towards DL flyers that are PM's, amex plats, CRC members, etc, please let us know!

I think they have security down very well at T4, I've never had to wait more than 2 mins. The Oasis is a nice change and upgrade from the CRC's (self service bar!)

I do have to admit that when I've been at T4 for family flying on Emirates...I've always been curious about the Oasis lounge! Maybe I'll finally get to enter in the near future!
