I'll miss the old Continental club at T6. :td:

There isn't even a decent coffee choice in T7 or T8. Food choices are the worst of any major airport. Moving the Skywest hoppers to T8 was a bad move as centrally located T7 was much better as a connect point. Wouldn't surprise me if all commuter flights moved to East Commuter Terminal with bus service from T7,8 someday.

Didn't IAD just lose the Starbucks in C, at the people mover doors? Subway and the Brewery are gone to. Looks like D&D is taking over C at IAD. I would take LAX T8 > T7 any day over IAD C > D23 connections. Term D IAD is just as bad but the new restaurant there at people mover doors is appealing.

LAX isn't going anywhere for UA. Hope the renovations make sense beside the club itself.

:confused:
Klatch coffee across from ua club is very good - both coffee and sandwiches - much better than anything in aa terminal 5 for example..

I knew it was coming, especially because of the huge amount of linear feet in T6 for UA. I imagine it'd cost a lot of money to rent the space. I despise the T7 setup, which will become even more of a zoo. Thankfully, not many more LAX UA departures for me before I defect to DL/AA/AS.

United LAX First Class lounge to close in Oct 2014
 

I am in the LAX Global First lounge, and the lovely lady here just informed me that the lounge will close and become a United Club. I'll miss the ride to my gate in the Mercedes...

Someone just posted in another thread that the LAX Global First UC is closing and becoming a regular UC in October

Yup. LAX is being de hubbed. CEO has said it's not a hub for anyone including UA.

I think you missed the point completely. Maybe think about what the CEO said and try again?

Yes I like Klatch. And Wolfgang Puck is fine for food. Both are better than anything at IAD.

The one explains the other; no way they could have fit existing traffic into T7 UC alone.

The CEO doesn't speak for other carriers. DL and AA would probably deny that LAX is not a hub. They're interested in growing, not contracting.

There are multiple definitions of a hub and LAX does not fit some of the definitions for any of the major carriers. You can call it a hub, but that's just a label.

And I would note that United calls LAX a hub.

Back to the regularly scheduled talking points.

That is in direct contradiction to the CEO's comment.

Basically any positive announcement thread (new routes, new planes, new meals, profitable earnings) can be turned into negative spin by page 2

i guess bitter haters with a grudge will always hate

Of course it is, in your opinion. :rolleyes:

Is closing the LAX IFL a positive announcement in your opinion?
