Lounge Hopping at LAX

Lounge Hopping at LAX

So I have a 6 hour LAX layover, basically to avoid the 737MAX. Clearly no problem making my connection today. Since my next flight is British Airways First, I have access to both American’s Flagship Lounge and the much better Qantas First Class Lounge. 

Nice work LAWA.  Let's post this post security.  LOL.

Since the AA lounge is on the way from T7 to TBIT, I stopped to check it out, do a little works and grab some breakfast… since United stiffed me on that today.

Complimentary champagne station just inside the Flagship Lounge entrance.

Reasonably adequate breakfast offerings...

AA's wine offerings.  Surprising to see a $30-$35 average retail price and a couple of 4.0 Vivino offerings.

Shades of past glory, when American actually tried.

My breakfast was tasty.

During my visit, service changed over to lunch.

Which I passed on to head on to the much nicer Qantas First Class Lounge.

Today's menu.

My go to meal in this lounge, the wonderful Salt and Pepper Squid with green chili dipping sauce and aioli.  Really good.

The Seared Baja seabass was delicious.

Bravo Qantas on your continued excellence in the First Class Lounge.
