I am flying out of LAX on Delta but I have a one day pass from US Airways for Admirals Club access. I see Alaska's Board Room listed under AA's lounges but would I be able to use it flying Delta and not AA/US Air/Alaskan? Not sure how it would work given how Alaska/Delta relationship is going

According to the "LAX / Los Angeles International Airport Lounge & Club Guide" thread in the American Airlines forum, in order to gain entry into the Alaska Board Room at LAX, Admirals Club members must present a membership card (or a 30 day membership receipt) along with a boarding pass for same day travel on AA, US or AS.
You will be able to use the Admirals Club in T4, though. Terminals 4, 5 and 6 are connected airside via tunnel.

The tunnel is accessible through the escalators located by the duty free shop and the food court.

Will have a 7 hour layover (with a 5.40 am arrival time) at LAX.
Arrival with AA from KOA and flying with AA to JFK - Oneworld Sapphire
I know that I could use the Admirals Club at T4 but how are my chances to get into the new Oneworld Lounge (Not Quantas First)?

What's my best LAX lounge option?
I'm flying AUS to LAX on United (economy), then LAX to OGG to HawaiianAir (economy plus) in a few weeks. My layover in LAX is about 3.5 hours, so was hoping to stop by a lounge and, as it will be in the morning, perhaps grab some free breakfast.
I have United Club passes from the United credit card that can get me in to any of those, which are in Terminal 7 (which is where my arrival flight will probably land).
I also have Lounge Club membership through Chase Ink, and through that could get into Virgin America Loft in Terminal 3, Alaska Airlines Board Room in Terminal 6, or KAL Lounge in the International Terminal.
Assuming my outgoing flight is out of Terminal 2, could I even get into one of the lounges in a different terminal? Would I want to?
If not, the other lounges available in Terminal 2 are Air France, Maple Leaf, or Air New Zealand. Any easy way to get into those without flying those airlines?
Help very appreciated - having trouble finding this stuff through searches.

Welcome to FlyerTalk! Since airport-specific questions are usually best addressed in the destination forums, your post has been moved here to the Los Angeles destination subforum.

Your best bet is to use the UA lounge in T7 and stay there for as long as you can.

Two data points from experiences in the first quarter of 2015
Maple Leaf Lounge in T2 now has showers. It has hot and cold food. It does not have any alcohol. No idea why. Seems to be also the contract lounge for Avianca, Mexicana, and Priority Pass, so it can get rather full. Terminal 2 is also a total dump under renovation. Spend as little time here as possible.
Star Alliance Lounge in TBIT is truly, incredibly awesome. Despite departing out of other terminals I've made use of this lounge twice now. No hassle at all by security (just said I was having dinner and shopping) for entering another terminal. Also no hassle by the lounge staff, just a reminder to allow plenty of time to go through security again.
The outside terrace is insanely nice. The manager even brought us blankets as we sipped champagne by the fire pit. Crazy nice!

Arriving T5 DL connecting to AM/DL codeshare likely in T2 with a long layover, possible to access Korean lounge in TBIT? Is the AF lounge still in T2 or closed, does AM have any lounge facilities accessible to its T2 gates at LAX? TIA.

The TBIT Star lounge is much better than T7 UA lounge. But you will have to clear security twice... not worth it. Just head to T7 and use the UA lounge.
You really don't have that much time to enjoy the lounge anyway.

Your ticket - assuming you are flying business class - won't give you access to Korean (Skyteam) lounge. But if you have Priority Pass, you can access the Korean lounge.

Arrival Lounge
I will be arriving on LH450 from FRA in business (and I'm star gold). I need a lounge to shower and change. Is there a special lounge for arriving passengers? Will I have access to the normal Star Alliance lounge in the international terminal?
