Before the end of the year American’s LAX lounge situation will be better than ever before, as they’ve completely reinvented their lounge experience at LAX this year.

Used the old Admirals Club a few years ago when flying back east over Thanksgiving weekend- had access through the Executive card. I know not many people with lounge access have children with them, but the kids play room at the old club was a real help, and good for other people as the kids weren't bouncing around the main club area much. Too bad they couldn't find room for a small play area again- personally I think that TV room will almost always be empty and mostly wasted space. I would never want to sit in there unless there was no available space in the club.
What is it with all the TV's in these lounges just blaring the news all day? It's honestly a major reason why I don't have a membership right now - no matter where you go in a lounge, you can't escape the noise from the TV's...unbearable.
I was in the flagship lounge in Miami and found ti to be meh. Much better than most Delta SkyClubs (SEA, SFO, ATL B,F the only exceptions) but doesn't hold a candle to the Polaris lounge. The food was not that great and not that fresh, there was no one at the "live cooking" station. I think thats a gimmick since maybe its only used at breakfast when there really aren't that many flights anyway.
We were in this lounge on its opening morning--November 21--arriving on AA's 787 from Sydney. It was absolutely mobbed--we used our coupons for bottles of water and then left. Since we weren't sure if it would be opening that day, we first went to the OneWorld lounge in TBIT, which is accessible to AA Platinum, and spent most of our time there. Far better food and much less crazy surroundings. Maybe that will change when the Flagship Lounge opens in a few weeks. Really enjoyed the Flagship Lounge at JFK, so maybe the LAX one will be similar.
You were too nice about this review. This Admirals Club is a laughing stock. It is more undersized than the old United RCC was, and is teeming with people. While the Flagship should help, it isn't going to help THAT much where the old lounge had to be 2-3 times this size. Having LAX as a base makes me livid about this.
