I have visited the OneWorld Business Lounge Los Angeles LAX several times over the years, and I have found to consistently be one of the best airport lounges in the United States.

The OneWorld Business Lounge is available to qualifying OneWorld passengers. On my first visit, I had access due to flying on Cathay Pacific in Business Class, but if you are flying in first class or business class on any OneWorld airline, you are eligible to hang out in this lounge. You can also access with OneWorld Emerald or Sapphire status.

As I first entered the OneWorld Business Lounge, it struck me just how empty the place was. It was 9:30am, so most international flights would not be leaving around that time, but still, there were several flights listed on the monitors so I would have expected it to be a bit busier.

Another thing that helps make the OneWorld lounge in LAX look empty is the fact that it’s a massive lounge. There are lots of seating areas for every level of comfort you want, from nice recliners to tables and workspaces.

There were self-service coffee and soda machines available.

There is even a fire pit!

There are also showers available, though I didn’t need to use them.

Business travelers will find themselves with plenty of quiet spaces. Also, there are lots of charging outlets all over the lounge.

While the LAX OneWorld Lounge is a nice space, I did find the food to be a bit lacking on my first visit, though that could have been due to my arrival in the morning during a time where there weren’t many people in the lounge. There was breakfast out. On subsequent visits later in the day, there were hot lunch and dinner options.

The bar did look nice, though I skipped it since it was so early in the morning. It did have a local craft beer, Dog Town Duck, which I had never heard of before. It’s a nice touch to see local beers like that in a lounge.

After getting a bit of food, I sat down and relaxed for a while in one of the recliners. It was looking out over an atrium that had a large string art piece, reminding me of the ones in SFO’s Terminal 2.

The OneWorld Business Lounge in Los Angeles is a comfortable place to wait until your flight. I’d be interested in seeing if it ever gets unbearably crowded, but based on a quick look at the upcoming departures for the day, I can’t imagine that it would ever become chaotic. The major selling point of the lounge is the variety of quiet places to relax. The food selection is pretty good. Now that the connector between Terminal 4 and the International Terminal is open, American Airlines upper-level elites can easily access this lounge rather than visiting the inferior Admirals Clubs.
