IIRC arrived T4 departed TBIT. Given the specific flight into T4 I guess no time for a lounge visit.

IIRC, he was on QF10LATE connecting to QF94. So it would seem the inbound lived up to its reputation.

Last I read the new FLounge at TBIT was due in January 2008.

I don't think BA have late night departures and not sure on CX or JL.

Speaking of JL, they were late arrivals to the OW dinner table so I doubt they contributed any money to the renovations. They probably have to pay an ongoing fee or other consideration for their pax to utilize the facilities.

Anyways, I'll check it out soon and report back.

CX has two late flights out of LAX daily.

JL departs 11:55am and LA departs 2:25pm. So no conflict with QF departures.

It could potentially be crowded with the CX and QF late departures. Won't know until I try on the 22nd...

CX first night departures are at 22:20 and 00:20. So I suppose CX passengers in the lounge should peak off at 21:45 prior to the boarding of the first flight.

From my experience in SFO, there have never been more than 10 people in the BA Terrace F section. If the situation is the same in LAX, I expect the number of CX passengers in the F lounge will peak at about 20 from the two flights.
