OW Lounge(s) at LAX / Lima
Hi all-
First, I tried a search and I am having difficulty finding the relevant info....
I will soon embark on a LAX-LIM-LAX trip in Biz Class on LAN. I currently do not have any status on any OW carrier. Which lounge(s) am I entitled to visit @ LAX? Also, are there any available lounges in LIM?
Many thanks!
Patrick

You can use either the Admirals Club in T4 or Lan has a lounge at TBIT. The TBIT lounges are....well...not good. The AC is nice. The problem is that both lounges are airside. So unless you're coming into LAX on an AA flight, you will have to just head over to the TBIT. The Lan lounge is shared, small, limited food and drink.
Lima
I believe AA closed the Admirals Club (you can call and ask) but it was landside and fairly nice. At least compared to LIM. Lan uses a shared lounge airside and is alright. Decent size, including an outside area. Has some nibbles and booze. Also has a staffed bar where you can get a pisco sour if you like. Don't recall if there's a shower or not but I don't think so. In other words, there's better lounges...but there is certainly worse.

LIM - Darren, is your lounge description on the post-airport -remodel situation? I didn't know if they changed/moved/closed/opened anything new, or if it is just the gate areas that have been improved. I haven't had the (mis)fortune of getting on/off a plane in LIM in quite some time, but will be in a few weeks.

EB, it was during. I forgot that they were doing the renovations so it might have changed.
