I did end up doing exactly this. I had something like 80 or 90 minutes at the airport. Went to the Maple leaf lounge -- had to check security twice, but that wasn't such a big deal. What was really disappointing was the lounge. It's huge, clean and quiet but very little food selection.

Isn't there a VX lounge in T3? I think I used it last year with my Priority Pass card. Nothing special but maybe okay to hang out there if your flight is delayed.

I think I saw a sign saying that you had to show your BP showing a flight in the other terminal in order to use the shuttle. Not sure if they are strict about that or not.

So LAX is one O/D airport where lounges even for WN could be a big plus.

So I'm flying into T2 from Hawaiian and have about a 5 hour layover until I fly out of T1 on Southwest.
I have Priority Pass. Could I visit all the PP Lounges in T2, T3, and T6 with my Southwest boarding pass? Also, Will security let me in if I'm not flying out of any of these terminals? I know some have mentioned they can get through security on this thread, but just wanted to make sure it's allowed.
I don't have to visit all these lounges, just wanted to know if it's an option.

Security will let you in. They may tell you that your in the wrong place but just explain you going to the lounge and they will let you through.
I think the Korean Air lounge is the best of the PP lounges at LAX. I recently visited the Virgin America lounge and was not impressed.

Will getting through security be more of a hassle or take a lot longer since the Korean Air lounge is in the international terminal? Or will it be similar to the domestic terminals?

Following up on this. Is there a shuttle that will take me to T1 airside if I visit Maple Leaf Lounge? Thanks.
