Can't comment on the above question, but adding some pics from my recent TBIT * Alliance Lounge visit about 2 weeks ago, before walking to T7 and my United flight.

I typically take a parking shuttle and get dropped off at TBIT. TSA-Pre line is always empty, and I was dropped off and at the lounge entrance in under 5 minutes.

One quick comment, the United app boarding pass had a really hard time scanning for the Lounge computer to get in, took about 10 times

Great visit, and about a 15 min walk to T7. Worth it!

You need to be admitted to the OW or AA lounge based on the OW class of service connecting access rules. The OW rules on this says you have to arrive on an int'l long haul J class (ok in this case) AND be departing on a OneWorld short haul (i.e. basically AA flights ex-LAX). I don't think the AS flight counts because it is not OW operated flight. You can try and the worse thing that can happen is you have to walk to T6 to use the AS lounge.

This is the rules from OW website:

Connecting between oneworld marketed and operated flights:

• First and Business Class customers connecting on the same day of travel, or before 6am the following day, can access the lounge when travelling between an international long haul (a oneworld international long haul flight is defined as an international flight marketed and operated by any oneworld carrier with a scheduled flight time longer than 5 hours) and an international short haul or domestic flight (and vice-versa).
• Lounge access will be determined on the international long haul ticketed flight (either First of Business Class) regardless of the ticketed class of travel on the international short haul or domestic flight.
• You must be prepared to show your boarding pass or itinerary showing travel in First or Business class on the international long haul flight, in order to access the lounge before your international short haul or domestic flight.

Are any showers available at LAX currently? Traveling Alaska First and I’m BA Silver so have l access to the AS lounge, I assume also AA by virtue of BA Silver, and I also have priority pass and an AXP Plat. I assume any showers are unavailable “due to COVID” but it’s hard to find firm info

Alaska Lounge doesn't have showers at all. It's fairly small but is a reasonable way to get out of the terminal crowds and not be far from your gate. There will be a waitlist sign for PP members outside the elevator. It sounds like you're on a paid F ticket, so you can ignore the waitlist and just go up and show your boarding pass to get in.

I haven't been to the AA lounge, but I think the current consensus in the AS forum is that the AS lounge is better right now. If you're arriving internationally at TBIT you could go back through security at TBIT or T4 and stop at the AA lounge on the way to T6 - everything is connected airside on that side of the airport.

Priority Pass at LAX is down to the Alaska Lounge and the (closed) KAL Lounge. All the restaurant partners have left.

It looks like your AXP Plat will get you into the DL lounge if you're on a DL flight, but not for an AS flight. It's also on the wrong side of the airport and not connected airside, so would require a large amount of connection time to get to a shower and get to T6 if you're coming in at TBIT.

Any update on the Lounge situation at LAX? Centurion still showing closed and PriorityPass doesn't list a single lounge for the airport. Is the SkyClub my only option?

CL still closed; no PP options at LAX according to recent posts here:

Shame, guess SkyClub it is

Taking an Air France flight from LAX next week. The AMEX Centurion lounge is closed and the only lounge I could get in to is the Delta sky Miles lounge but that is in building two and I am pretty sure the plane will leave from Bradley. Is there any way to check into my flight and still use this lounge in building two?

Side question- what are the Air France business and first class customers using in Bradley since both the centurion and Korean lounges are closed as they tear the building apart? Maybe I could get into their alternative lounge by paying the fee and using my American Express platinum.

We had a similar question recently asked in the connections and transfers thread. Here is a quote of the question and my answers:And a map of TBIT courtesy of bzcat :

They're tearing down Bradley?

TWA884

TBIT is not being torn down. It is still in the process of being remodeled and expanded. The West Gates concourse recently opened and they are still working on the construction of the vertical core and the headhouse which will connect the terminal to the Automated People Mover.

The only section of TBIT that is planned to be demolished is the remnant of the old concourse at the north end of the terminal where gates 135 to 141 and the bus gates are currently located.

These, however, are subjects for discussion in the LAX Construction (2020 and onward), LAX Midfield Satellite Concourse to Add 12 Gates [West Gates Now Open - 15 New Gates] and LAX Landside Access Modernization Program threads.

As far as the question which you quoted, Air France will open a new lounge at the West Gates concourse of the Tom Bradley International Terminal in the spring of 2022.

keep dreaming.
The way it is set up now, there is often 10 minutes of walking to get to immigration after deplaning

Folks,

This thread is about lounges at LAX, locations, access and amenities.

While some natural deviation from the topic of the thread is perfectly OK, for indexing and future search purposes, please let's keep the focus of the discussion in this thread on lounges.

We have several active threads discussing TBIT and its deficiencies, and airport construction and modernization.

Thank you for understanding,

thanks

does this mean the only way I can use the Delta lounge in T2 is to check in, drop off luggage and then bus/walk to T2, go through security at T2 ( will they let us in with Bradley gate tkts?) and then go back to Bradley for another security for boarding.. Does not sound like a restful stay in the lounge.. How long is the walk from T2 to Bradley because the bus may be longer (one leg will be in the opposite direction)
Again--- what are the AF business/first class pax doing for lounge access?

Am I missing something.?
