Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is one of the busiest airports in the United States and a primary gateway for international travel to and from the West Coast. This page lists every lounge at LAX by terminal, including locations, opening hours, amenities, and how travelers can get in.

Quick Overview: LAX Airport Lounges

LAX has about 25 lounges and experiences across its terminals, serving the 73.7 million passengers who traveled through the airport in 2025 (Source: Los Angeles World Airports). Tom Bradley International Terminal (Terminal B) holds the largest concentration with 11, including the international flagship lounges: Star Alliance, Oneworld, Emirates, Korean Air, and the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse.

Access comes through 5 main routes: flying in a premium cabin, qualifying status, a lounge or credit card membership, Priority Pass at a limited number of locations, or a paid day pass. Priority Pass coverage at LAX is limited to Be Relax Spa and Gameway and is not available to American Express or Capital One cardholders.

A Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club is under construction in Terminal B, and Delta plans an 11,000-square-foot Sky Club in Terminal 2 for the second half of 2027 (Source: Delta). Most terminals connect airside, so travelers can reach lounges in other terminals without having to clear security again.

      Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

      Lounges for most of the major international carriers are in Terminal B. Passengers connecting from a domestic flight arriving at terminals 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, or 8 can remain within the secure area to reach Terminal B.

      Terminals 1, 2, and 3 connect to Terminal B via the Delta Sky Way, so passengers can walk inside the secure area without reclearing security. An airside shuttle bus also connects Terminal B to Terminals 2 and 3. Both options are available to passengers who do not need to collect checked luggage between flights.

      Terminals 4, 6, 7, and 8 are connected via airside walkways, so passengers can move between them to use available lounges. Terminal 5 is closed for reconstruction, so the airside route between Terminal 4 and Terminal 6 runs through the connector rather than the terminal. Walking from the outer terminals to Terminal B takes 15 to 20 minutes.

      Final Thoughts

      LAX has the widest set of international flagship lounges of any U.S. airport, most of them concentrated in Tom Bradley International Terminal. Access depends on the airline, cabin, status, or credit card a traveler holds rather than on any single membership. Most terminals connect airside, so reaching a lounge in another terminal is usually possible without having to clear security again.
