Was the one and only coffee maker fixed yet?

The door on the stall of the rest room was also broken and did not lock. Not really any reason to hang around there with no coffee/tea/usable rest room. Maybe next month, I can bring a hose to siphon coffee from the Starbucks downstairs.

Well, I only went to see if it was still broken. The door on the stall of the rest room was also broken and did not lock. Not really any reason to hang around there with no coffee/tea/usable rest room.

As for the lounge, DL has already signed the lease for Terminals 2/3 and construction will start in the coming months so although VX will be one of the last to be moved out of T3, it is pretty clear they will just let things fall apart. By early next year, you can happily sit in a pile of dust drinking water from the sink in the bathroom and enjoy the views of the planes landing visible through the holes in the roof.

When DL takes over T3, VX is scheduled to go to T6 and no Loft will be replaced. No surprises here with the AS BR.

Truth is the VX Loft experience at LAX is not worth the effort whether admitted for free and especially not for anyone considering paying for it.
Let it serve as an indicator that VX has abandoned any interest in leading a good customer experience across any part of their products. And as far as the influence of AS on this withdraw from treating people well, you will earn the same amount of revenue from me as you deserve.

This is the main reason we won't fly VX out of LAX.
We remember when AS moved to 6 and VX opened The Loft in AS old space. Great small plates, including sushi and shrimp cocktails. Then small plates went away , free cocktails gone and regulars were upset. they even let us bring Burger King in for lunch because they had nothing to offer (literally) Manager later emailed me to apologize and asked me to come back (gratis) to try again. Never went back.
Now with AS merger, we are splitting the difference. SEA to LAX in F with VX and using the AS lounge at SEA. LAX/ SEA with AS F because AS lounge in 6 is far better than VX Loft. When VX moves to 6, then who knows??

The Loft lounge will be closing in May. Was just there tonight. Boarding pass scanner not working so agent had to manually look up each person to check his/her status. Airlines will start moving around at the end of this month with VX the last to leave T-3.
Security line was insanely long. Not terrible for precheck but not pretty for everybody else. Will not miss that terminal.
