*O world TBIT lounges are still closed. Qantas has published the business lounge will reopen in December 2021.

Possibly Dec 20th when the Melbourne flight resumes (QF94).

If opening is tied to Qantas departures, it may be open approx. 5pm to 9pm on the days when QF12 and/or QF94 operate.

https://www.qantas.com/au/en/qantas-...iness%20Lounge says,
Once re-opened, lounge opening hours will be: 6.30am to 11.30pm.
Don't know if QF will stick to their word though.

I'm happy to announce the OneWorld lounge is open in LAX; coincidentally they opened on the same day as my flight to London!
The food was good but the staff was phenomenal.

It's a OW Lounge, operated by QF, so supporting non-QF OW flights makes all the sense in the world.

Reading above link, and quote the part that said, "Temporary measures have been put in place in the lounge including capacity restrictions, physical distancing requirements and changes to our food and beverage service offerings."

Has anyone encountered Capacity Restrictions, if so at what time?

BTW, glad that this lounge is open!

LAX OW business lounge is closed today. Apparently they have plumbing issues. I event checked the Qantas website before heading to the airport and it said open. Very frustrating as I came a few hours early to stop by the lounge.

I feel you. The exact same thing happened to me. You beat me to posting that picture. Poor communication from QF/Oneworld not to update the closure.

Report on BA forum the TBIT lounge has reopened:

You have to show your vaccination certificate in order to have access because they claim it is a restaurant. You do not have to show your vaccination certificate in any other lounge or restaurant within LAX. Very strange. The qantas First lounge will not re-open before March. The AA FL is not open. The lounges of all other major airline groups withinTBIT are open. The Amex centurion lounge is supposed to re-open this month.

I visited both Flagship Business and OneWorld Business lounges the evening of March 2. Flagship was a better experience - much quieter, less crowded, nice tarmac views. Perhaps a smaller selection of food items but higher quality. Centurion still "closed for repairs".
