Has The Qclub Lounge Opened In Lax Tbit

Hi there

I absolutely hate LAX and hate even more the interim lounge for QCLUB.

I am travelling in mid september to LA and was wondering whether anyone has seen/experienced the new lounge there.

I have asked QANTAS and they have said that it is open but would like someone to confirm.

cheers everyone.

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.

Except for those flight that depart from T4, which is all AA-operated flights and all QF flights to SYD. So there are probably more OneWorld flights departing from T4 than departing from TBIT when all added up.

I'll be in transit from Vegas and then LAX to BNE. Does the terminal 4 AA lounge have showers?

One good thing though, they provided access to the interim lounge to me (WP) and 3 zero status family members, without me even having to beg .

I'm coming through there on Nov 5th ...

This what's available on the Qantas web site (it was updated in early September to read "Late October"): New Lounge Experience in LA
Quote:
New Lounge Experience in LA
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

From late October 2007, members with access to The Qantas Club can enjoy a new lounge experience in Los Angeles. Qantas, in partnership with Cathay Pacific and British Airways, is developing new First and Business lounges in the Tom Bradley International terminal. The new lounges will offer more space, more seating, luxury shower suites and enhanced business facilities. ...
FWIW, the interim Business lounge is scheduled to cease operating after 31st October and the Interim F lounge after 30th November.

More here (see page 7 - "Lounge Tenant Project"): LAX Operations Coordinated Construction Activity Monday, October 8, 2007 through Sunday, October 14, 2007

Thanks for the information all.

Might sound like a silly question but can I access the lounge overseas if i'm flying Qantas or AA in economy? I don't have status but I do have paid Qantas Club membership.

thanks in advance
