How to access Star Alliance Lounge Los Angeles LAX
I visited this lounge before my SWISS Business Class flight to Zurich, during my New Year road trip on California’s Highway One.
Travellers can access this lounge when flying in Business Class with a Star Alliance airline or if they hold a Star Alliance Gold status.

General areas
The lounge offers a good amount of indoor seating, but we especially loved the outdoor terrace that includes a view of the apron. It was pretty crowded during my visit and the only seats available for the 3 of us were at the outdoor area.
Shower
Guests can book a shower suite in-person and will be provided with a queue paging device to get alerted when one is ready.
Food & Drinks
The buffet area offers a variety of hot food and snacks but quality looks average. Great that we filled ourselves up at AMEX Centurion Lounge beforehand!
