Oneworld lounge complex opens at LA
Lounges designed and developed by Oneworld alliance partners opened today at Los Angeles International Airport’s Tom Bradley International Terminal.
British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas collaborated to develop the facility, which includes separate lounges for First and Business Class passengers.
The lounges will also be available to premium passengers flying with Oneworld partners, Japan Airlines and LAN, and oneworld Emerald or Sapphire tier frequent flyer cardholders from any oneworld member airline when flying on any of the alliance’s carriers.
Another partner, American Airlines, operates from Terminal 4, adjacent to the Tom Bradley building, where it has its own lounges.
Oneworld said this is the first time a joint lounge has been developed from scratch on an alliance basis.
The lounges have a bank of plasma screens in the reception area, a bar, nine showers, internet café-style work stations equipped with PCs and buffet areas.
