Tom Bradley lounge question
I am flying QF from lAX to SYd but want to use the KE lounge .
Both from Tom Bradley terminal but as they depart from opposite piers is it possible to access the lounge once you are through security or do you need to clear security for the QF side and seperately for the KE side .
I guess what I am asking is it poss to pass from one pier to the other in Tom bradley easliy
Thanks

QF & KE lounges
Both QF & KE lounges may be accessed after you clear security at Tom Bradley; however, unless you have some special privilege with KE you would not normally be allowed to access the KE lounge since you are not flying with a Skyteam carrier

You can look on which side the lines thru security are shorter and then go to the other side after security. Just follow the signs for the other gates past security.

Good luck on trying to enter the KE lounge on 4F using Priority Pass. On 3 different occasions when trying to enter that lounge around 10 pm, I've been refused entry with PP because lounge was too full. Many flights must be leaving LAX TBIT for Asia late at night and using KE Biz lounge.

We are flying LH with award Business and First class tickets but i just read somewhere that the Staralliance lounge only takes revenue passengers! Did not know that!
Thanks for any info!

Oh, i was thinking of using this lounge when flying with Lufthansa to Munich. Flight departs at 9.10 pm. So, do you think that by 8 pm this Skyteam lounge will be ok ti use Pirority Pass cards?

If no rights, then I guess you just take your chances, or try to see how many KE flights there are in evenings out of LAX, and see if earlier times can get you into KE lounge.
You might suggest to PP to find another lounge to get an arrangement with at LAX.

You'll find a warm welcome at all Star Alliance member airline lounges, as well as at Star Alliance own lounges. Below you will find details of how to access the lounges and, as an extra benefit, many lounges allow you to bring a guest with you.
International First Class Customers: Customers have access to International First Class1 and/or any Star Alliance member carriers' own lounges.
Customer must present a boarding pass for travel in International First Class on a Star Alliance flight
Customer must be departing from the local airport in International First Class
Customer must be a revenue customer
Customer is entitled to one guest

I had that understanding as well until i saw this from the *A website:

In this case "Revenue Customer" relates to travel paid with using Money or points/miles awards rather than Staff travel or ID90 type travel.

How do they divide the *A lounge for Fisrt and Business class?? We are going to be 3 of us. One flying First and two flying Business. Two different front desks?
Thanks for your input!

Star lounge has a shared front desk, then two entrances: left is F, right is C. The F part is much smaller - looks like you need either a special invitation or a F boarding pass to get into the F side. The showers/restrooms in the back are shared between C and F.
