I had some time before my flight to Auckland on Air New Zealand to check out the Star Alliance lounge at LAX Tom Bradley International Terminal.
Star Alliance Lounge LAX
The location of the lounge is smack dab in the middle of Terminal 8 and has a beautiful patio-esque space that feels as outdoors as an indoor space can. If you’re looking for truly outdoor space at LAX, the new United Club has that, but requires a transfer over to Terminal 7.
The food offerings seemed to be exactly on par with any other Star Alliance partner lounge (except United Club) I’ve been to with a wide variety of hot and cold breakfast options. As it was still early in the morning, the bar wasn’t actively staffed, but wine and bubbly was available as self serve.
I really enjoyed the space design as there was a full mix of cafe, restaurant and lounge space. In addition to actual workspace, executive center style cubes, a theatre room, showers and chaises.
