oneworld Los Angeles Lounge – Los Angeles, CA (LAX)
Designed and managed by Qantas in partnership with British Airways and Cathay Pacific, the oneworld Los Angeles Lounge welcomes all oneworld premium passengers departing from the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT), as well as Fiji Airways’ premium passengers. The club is located on level 5, at the top of the Time Tower.
oneworld Los Angeles Lounge LAX design
The oneworld Los Angeles Lounge wraps around an atrium adorned with a colorful arts installation. With multiple zones featuring different vibes and seating arrangements, the lounge has something for everyone, from the weary traveler to the businessperson or LA socialite.

The design achieves a balance between modernity, comfort, elegance, and convenience, with designer chairs for relaxation, high tables conducive to work, and discussion pods and nooks. Power outlets are readily available throughout.
In the bar area is a fireplace surrounded by a circular couch. While it is fake due to airport regulations, it’s easy to be fooled. In the rear are a social area and a family zone with colorful toys and kid-sized chairs.
Despite the smart layout and soothing color scheme, the oneworld Los Angeles Lounge can feel depressing due to the lack of natural light, and crowds at peak times. The atrium is the only source of daylight, and Qantas alone operates two daily A380s to Sydney and Melbourne, in addition to a Boeing 747 to Brisbane, which makes for a less-than-private experience.
oneworld Los Angeles Lounge LAX amenities
The oneworld Los Angeles Lounge offers a complete line-up of international-grade amenities.

In line with Qantas’ tradition, Australian chef Neil Perry has crafted the menu, which is prepared in an on-site kitchen. The buffet spread includes a substantial salad bar, as well as an assortment of hot entrees and desserts. In addition, at peak departure times, quirky food carts serve LA-inspired street-food such as pulled pork tacos and beef hot dogs.
Next to the fireplace is an elegant black-tiled bar, offering a self-service selection of fine wines and champagnes. At peak times, bartenders-baristas also serve cocktails and coffee concoctions.
The lounge also features nine utilitarian but functional shower suites. Maintenance seems a bit spotty—in our experience, it takes a while for water to get hot and there is little control over temperature overall.
Other amenities include a family room, a selection of newspapers and magazines, and complimentary Wi-Fi.
oneworld Los Angeles Lounge LAX bottom line
oneworld Los Angeles Lounge – Los Angeles, CA (LAX)
The oneworld Los Angeles Lounge is a well-appointed lounge with an elaborate design and a superior selection of food and beverages. While the space is intelligently laid-out, the club sorely lacks daylight, and fills up at peak times.
oneworld Emerald customers may use the adjacent and much more serene Qantas First Lounge, which features a complimentary full-service restaurant.

Overall ratings
Huge lounge with plenty of seating in different areas. Kind of dark however and no apron view. Lounge is not bad but somehow you expect more at an important airport like LAX.
Food buffet was ok, same goes for selection of beverages.
There is a very nice lounge area for kids, a must see. Free WIFI, some newspapers and magazines, business centre. Nice bathrooms and showers.
Huge lounge with plenty of seating in many different areas, which is centered around an atrium with a piece of art. No apron view though. There were quite some people in the lounge at times, but not really crowded, The whole place was kind of dark in many areas. All in all a nice way to spend some time but no comparison to the oneworld first lounge which is run by Qantas and also not as good as the Star Alliance Business Lounge.
The food selection was quite nice with a choice of salads, fruits and several warm dishes on the buffet. There is a bar with many alcoholic beverages, no champagne however. Several self service stations for beverages throughout the lounge.
Free WIFI, some newspapers but no magazines. Nice restrooms and showers.
When we visited the lounge it was packed!
Eventually found seats at the bar but was put off by staff chatting very loudly to each other and not that interested in serving the patrons.
The lack of food was astonishing considering the amount of people in this very crowded lounge. Our flight left after 11pm and the food service was wrapping up at 9:30pm. Only one section of the food service area was operating with very limited choice of not very appetising food.
The lounge was rather dirty as it was towards the end of the day.
It doesn`t look as though they clean on an ongoing basis.
Dirty plates on tables etc. whilst staff spent too much time talking amongst themselves.
Great lounge all around – will be 5 stars when crowding issues are resolved!
