SatisfactoryThis lounge needs a cleaning, I mean deep down scrub. I don't see anything wrong with the furniture, just the cleanliness of it.

Jason•January 2019

Needs ImprovementRudest lady on the front desk. Learn some social skills!

Anonymous•December 2019

Needs ImprovementThe front desk lady was uninterested and rude. She wasn’t willing to answer any question, very poor experience.

Tiffanie•December 2018

Needs ImprovementPriority Pass only allowed entry between 12 noon and 6pm!

Danny•December 2018

Worth a DetourNo issues with PP. Decent food and drink and comfortable seating. Close to PFC if you also want food. Give yourself 15-20 mins each way if coming from Term 2/3. Worth the hike.

Terry•November 2018

Worth a DetourIt wasn’t crowded on a Thurs night. I came here to shower up before my 15 hr flight. The shower was clean and had everything I needed. I’ll keep coming here until the Centurion opens up at LAX.

Anonymous•October 2018

SatisfactoryAlways extremely crowded. Lots of the seats are very worn, food options don’t look great. Free wine and drinks are good. It’s a better option than sitting in the terminal I suppose.

Anonymous•October 2018

OutstandingQuiet, chill lounge with a good amount of options — was here from 7-8 pm on a Tues night, and they had pizza, sushi, and chicken wings, also soup and a ton of bev options.

Ivette•September 2018

SatisfactoryPriority Pass used to allow us in any time. Now if we take a late international flight, we are SOL.

Gabriel•August 2018

Worth a DetourAverage food options, spacious but dingy carpets and lounge chairs.

Erika•August 2018

Needs ImprovementIt’s silly to claim Priority Pass provides access to this lounge. 12 to 8 makes the lounge useless for most flights. It’s lame that there is no lounge at all in one of the biggest terminals most of the day.

Rebecca•July 2018

OutstandingGreat variety of food. Pizza, fried rice, chicken pieces, sandwiches, sushi, soup, Fruit, cake and cereal. Help yourself to wine, beer, soft drinks. Shower rooms brilliant. Toothbrushes available.

Anonymous•July 2018

Needs ImprovementFirst experience as PP w/Chase Reserve. NOT a good start. Were “greeted” w/contempt & terrible attitude from front desk AND supervisor who refused to sell us a day pass. Highly disappointed.

Stephy•June 2018

SatisfactoryNo plates left and only rice as hot food. No champagne or sparkling wine and only 3 wine. choices. Overall very disappointing, balcony is the only vaguely redeeming feature.

Richard•June 2018

Worth a DetourAverage lounge. Non so great choice of food but ok. Comfortable seats. Drinks are OK.

Fabiano•June 2018

Needs ImprovementAs LB notes, they do not offer one day access passes. If you are a Chase Sapphire Reserve card holder, you must present your PP card to access or you will be denied.

TK•April 2018

OutstandingJust a short walk to the Korean Air KAL Lounge, and entry with my Priority Pass. I was pleasantly pleased with the facilities; staff and above all the outstanding customer service. Rick American Flyers

Rick Sullivan•April 2018

Worth a DetourOne of the biggest lounges I have been to. Easily seats about 250 people. Nice balcony that over looks the terminal shopping area. Mostly finger food like sandwiches, and instant noodles.

Anonymous•March 2018

Worth a DetourArrived on Priority Pass at 2 pm. No problems whatsoever, friendly check-in. Lounge full but not crowded. Food options limited but OK. Nice to sit on the balcony.

Markus•February 2018

SatisfactoryCame in with Priority Pass at 1PM, clean, decent service, some alcohol and food (nothing special but better than nothing). Pretty crowded for a mellow day at LAX.

Anonymous•January 2018

Needs ImprovementPriority Pass members are not allowed in after 8pm. Cancelling my PP membership if this isn’t fixed.

Nikos Giannopoulos•January 2018

SatisfactoryThis one is about as basic as it gets. Bathroom is clean enough which is nice. Fairly crowded on a slow day in the terminal. Used plates and napkins everywhere. Food & drink selection is VERY limited.

Jake•November 2017

Needs ImprovementDirty chairs & ripped carpets, gum on chairs, very limited food, self service bar: NO cocktails. No place to stretch out during a long layover. Worst club room, apart from one in Borneo! A disgrace.

Anonymous•September 2017

Worth a DetourGood snacks. Nice service. Clean bathroom. Internet is ok. Sushis are also okay. Not crowded and you can lay down on the benches too.

János Dézsi•September 2017

Worth a DetourAlaska Terminal 6 to Tom Brad (International) possible. Just a long walk thru hot tunnel connectors. No trains or speedy walky things. About 1 mile. Decent food selection. NP Priority Pass.

Leonard•September 2017

SatisfactoryLove the airy space and terrace. F&B is really limited, but enough to tidy you over (finger foods, cup noodles, chips/salsa). Wifi is decent. Entered w/ PP, no issues.

SirLou•August 2017

Needs ImprovementClosed to Priority Pass members after 8pm.

adub•June 2017

Needs ImprovementFood choice is mediocre, drinks are only slightly better. It is not of the level expected from Air France or KLM or KAL!!

Anonymous•June 2017

SatisfactoryLower end of international lounges. Often crowded. Typical selection of food- finger sandwiches, maki sushi & small self-serve bar. Several bathroom stalls & the showers were out of order.

Kelly•May 2017

Needs ImprovementWalked all the way across the airport to get here at 8am only to find they mysteriously stay closed until after 9am. Sweaty hot and very disappointed. Other lounges are open.

Anonymous•April 2017

Worth a DetourTons of outlets and seating. It's all relatively comfortable. The food is mostly finger food - small sandwiches and fruit etc. No complaints!

Kate•April 2017

SatisfactoryNice furnishings and ambience. Mediocre food and quite crowded. Accessible from Terminal 4.

Dave•March 2017

Needs ImprovementThey wouldn't let me in. No Priority Pass members allowed, because it was too full.

Anonymous•February 2017

OutstandingShowers are clean, power outlets everywhere. A mix of comfy seats, the most drab looking are the most comfortable. At least 3 benches without overhead lights to take a nap. No private rooms.

Anonymous•February 2017

Worth a DetourA nice large lounge overlooking the peasants. Extremely limited food selection for so many airlines using the lounge. Small finger sandwiches and pretzels. Lots of electrical outlets. Good views.

Richard •February 2017

Worth a DetourDecent basic lounge, but getting dirty...Someone needs to reupholster all these chairs. Super fast wifi is nice.

Jon Brown•January 2017

Worth a DetourNice and clean lounge with decent amenities and comfort. Hot food options are very disappointing. Service is just above average.

Nitin•January 2017

Needs ImprovementTerrible lounge. They said they were closed to Priority Pass members after 8 pm and to update the app so it would show the right times. Did that and it still said until midnight. Waste of time.

HAMR•January 2017

Needs ImprovementPerfect spot to be humiliated and mistreated because you show up with a Priority Pass card. If it is not open full time Priority shouldn't even offer it as an option. Don't waste your time!

AB•December 2016

SatisfactoryBeware, there is restricted access for Priority Pass holders... noon to 8pm only.

Anonymous•December 2016

SatisfactoryNot sure if this is new or not but as of December 2016 at least, Priority Pass access is restricted to noon-8pm. Just be aware.

Mike•December 2016

Worth a DetourA little long in the tooth and basic, but pleasant.

QT•December 2016

OutstandingThe beige chairs are looking a bit dated in the front lounge, but the remaining sections and patio are both in very good condition and make it more than worthwhile. Decent food selections.

B. Mad•October 2016

OutstandingShowers are really nice. Food is ok... instant noodles, cold sandwiches. Selection of drinks is pretty good.

Anonymous•October 2016

Worth a DetourGood if you're in terminal 4 or Tom Bradley international terminal. It's a short walk from terminal 4. They had cupcakes, pretzels, chips, a few sandwiches, noodle soup, sofa cans, juices, coffee machine.

Anonymous•September 2016

Needs ImprovementThe once beige chairs are so filthy that they're black. The food is nonexistent, worst lounge food we've had anywhere truly. Sad for LAX.

Sara•September 2016

Worth a DetourNice views of the terminal, decent atmosphere, bar was self serve and wine list was non-existent.

Will•August 2016

Needs ImprovementNo Westpac affiliated access. Lies.

Anonymous•June 2016

SatisfactoryBelow average lounge. The lounge performs very poorly when compared to the other options at LAX. Some finger food and packaged noodles. Full bar. Great seating area overlooking terminal. Poor wifi.

Sandeep•June 2016

Worth a DetourGreat lounge with a nice selection of snacks. Comfortable seating and many charging ports. Will use again.

Jonathan Harmon•May 2016

SatisfactoryBad food. Comfy chairs. Sterile feeling.

ceo•May 2016

Worth a Detour✅ quiet, clean, comfortable with nice views over airport concourse below. Great roomy showers. ❌limited food options, many of the saggy chairs need replacing/updating.

P--and--T•May 2016

Worth a DetourVery comfortable but poor food choices.

Hi•May 2016

Worth a DetourComfortable, decent drinks, could have better appetizers/food.

Anonymous•April 2016

Worth a DetourLight and airy, the lounge has views of the plaza below and an interesting terrace. Limited food and beverage offerings although this may be related to the KAL flight timings. It was very quiet at 930a.

Simon•March 2016

Needs ImprovementThe food selection is very poor.

James•March 2016

Worth a DetourOK lounge, many seats, food is OK, just sandwich and fruits, no bottled water.

Li•March 2016

Worth a DetourClean, big and nice location overlooking the terminal. Food/alcohol selection is just ok. Fruits, chips, Korean noodles. Comfortable space but service could be better.

Keita•January 2016

Worth a DetourA great place to retreat and relax. Love the balcony overlooking the terminal. Food was nothing too exciting but more substantial than domestic lounges. Worth a visit if you've got a few hours at LAX.

Tonei•November 2015

Needs ImprovementFood and beverage options are just about the worst that I've ever seen in an international lounge.

Ken•October 2015

Worth a DetourNo real food options besides some little snacks. Huge, ample room, quite and comfortable.

Darrel•October 2015

Needs ImprovementPoor food selection, location is ok but I have been to better lounges. I wouldn't recommend this to other passengers traveling out of LAX.

Eoghan•September 2015

Worth a DetourNice lounge. Not enough outlets in the seating areas, but great service. Self serve bar was nicely stocked, too.

Robyn•June 2015

SatisfactoryIt works- definitely better then the average domestic lounge but not by much. Reallllllly wish they had champagne but beggars can't be choosers on Priority Pass, I guess :)

Kenny•May 2015

SatisfactoryFood is slightly better than a US domestic lounge: cold sandwiches, fresh fruit and vegetables, chips and salsa, instant noodles, and muffins. Self serve bar with liquor and wine.

Kazu•April 2015

Worth a DetourHad to wait 10 min at 12:30 on a Monday to get in. Check in agents were overwhelmed, but the cleaning staff was super nice. Luggage lockers are available and there are 3 shower suits. Key is needed.

Angela•March 2015

Worth a DetourA barn of a lounge that was packed to the gills when I was there. Lots of broken plugs throughout made finding a place to charge a challenge, but I still found plenty of food and drink pre-flight!

Anonymous•March 2015

SatisfactoryReasonable lounge. Comfortable seating, plenty of power plugs. Sandwiches, chips and salsa, fruit, instant noodles available. Self serve bar with limited liquor choice.

Stefano•February 2015

Needs ImprovementSad sad sad. The pathetic lack of quality snacks or cocktails cements SkyTeam's third rate reputation.

Neal•December 2015

Worth a DetourNot a bad lounge. Food selection is pretty poor. Same with the alcohol. But it is a nice place to escape the crowds.

Mike•December 2014

Needs ImprovementNo veg food for veggies, that is a first for me!!!!!! All meat no veg sandwiches, guess what - we had peppers to EAT!!!!!!!!

Anonymous•December 2014

SatisfactoryClean and comfortable. Very limited food selection, think finger sandwiches and cup of noodles (albeit good cup of noodles). Self serve bar with average booze, limited beer selection.

Greg•September 2014

Needs ImprovementI was not allowed to use the lounge despite being a Delta Sky Club member and a platinum level frequent flyer. I was told this was because I was flying on Turkish Air which is not a SkyTeam airline.

Hello!•July 2014

Worth a DetourBig lounge with plenty of seating. Light food including small sandwiches, fruit, chips/salsa, chocolate chip muffins. Self serve open bar with beer (Cass or Budweiser) and a few different liquors.

Josh•May 2014

Worth a DetourThree showers available, and plenty of seating with power ports galore! Snacks and drinks are also available.

Nick•March 2014

SatisfactoryThis large lounge has clean bathrooms, and offers a variety of foods: sandwiches, chips and salsa, fruits and vegetables. However, this is a bit far from the boarding area.

Ryan•January 2014

Worth a DetourSmall food selection, but there's a variety of instant ramen. In addition, there's a self-serve bar and open fridge of soda. Though it's a nice lounge, it's lacking compared to other intl lounges.

David•December 2013

OutstandingWhen I was here waiting for a red-eye flight, there were only a few people. The WiFi was fast enough to load Netflix videos, and the amenities were good.

Kiyomi•November 2013

SatisfactoryThis is your typical US domest airport lounge. Though it's comfortable enough, it's not noteworthy at all.

Thomas•October 2013

SatisfactoryDespite this lounge being clean and better than the terminal, it's quite lackluster, with its oft-crowdedness and pathetic food selection.

Andrew•October 2013

Worth a DetourNice, clean, and quiet lounge with 2 showers and self-serve drinks. However, the food is quite limited in this lounge.

Cameron•October 2013

Worth a DetourThis lounge offers nice snacks, including little sandwiches that I really enjoyed.

Adri•October 2013

SatisfactoryLight lunch and self-serve bar available. Very busy in the afternoon. Poor WiFi speeds. Sprint/Verizon have horrible voice/data coverage. Quiet place in the INTL terminal.

Matt•August 2013

Worth a DetourThis lounge has a very European feel, and offers nice snacks and light meal service. Plenty of seating, LED TVs, and cool mood lighting can also be found here.
