Have they posted the HOURS OF OPERATION yet? Have to connect in SF for a Polaris flight and want to book my flight from LA at a time when I can use the lounge!

For those that have been to previous previews, how does the dining section work? First come first served? Do they rotate people in and out?

Do we know what the LAX Polaris lounge’s hours will be?

Not yet, but because LAX has early Polaris arrivals with lounge-eligible connecting pax, I would expect the lounge to open no later than 6:30am, and close no earlier than 10:00pm (to handle the SYD/MEL departures). There's no reason to stay open for any partner departures because of the *A lounge in the TBIT, but if Polaris-eligible pax are connecting to domestic redeyes, it could theoretically remain open until 11pm or 12am.

Using the other UA hubs with Polaris lounge as comparison, they all close 30-60min before the last UA club closes. Since UA club in LAX closes at 12.15AM, I would expect the LAX Polaris lounge to close at around 11.30PM.

Thanks for the heads-up, EWR764!
From what I heard at a recent LAX visit, the foot print of the lounge is very similar to / same as the IAH PL.
Getting excited for tomorrow's event!

Ooh - I’m looking forward to checking out their street tacos. Won’t eligibly pass though until April...

Edit: Just looked at the menu in a down-thread post - One each of the small plates and I'll skip dinner on the plane and snooze all the way to London...

Looks like they have the break-away Corian at some of the lounge chairs - hopefully they've figure out how to reinforce 'em.

Through my husband, I attended the pre-opening today. It’s really a great lounge. While not as professional as those posted above, I will post my photos here:



Met Oscar. Really nice guy!

Not PL related, but Oscar mentioned that the FLL UC will be opening very soon, and that MSY and RDU are getting clubs.

I thought I heard one of the staff at the front desk today say 6.45am to 11.45pm, but let's not take this as gospel.

Finally, a rough snap of the lounge layout diagram...
