The new lounge will be a Oneworld lounge, so will be shared by all of the Oneworld carriers flying out of LAX.

I believe that there have been delays with construction and is not due to open for another couple of months (someone else here will probably have better information than that). I have not read anything recently to suggest that the new lounges are open.

Can you arrange you flights to leave from T4 instead of TBIT. That way you will have access to the Admirals Club prior to your QF flight (i.e. LAX-SYD).

Or, if you are arriving into LAX on a domestic AA flight, then you can always hang out at the Admirlas Club and then head over to TBIT prior to your flight.

Both of these would be preferrable to using the interim TBIT lounge.

And welcome to AFF.
