Los Angeles lounges: what to know before you go
LAX is the most lounge-rich airport on this list and also the most fragmented — nine terminals arranged in a horseshoe, many not connected airside, so which lounge you can actually reach depends entirely on your departure terminal. The Amex Centurion Lounge sits in Terminal 4 (American's terminal, connected airside to the Tom Bradley International Terminal), and it's one of the best in the network. Capital One has a well-regarded lounge in Terminal 4 as well, making that whole T4/TBIT complex the sweet spot for premium-card holders. Delta occupies Terminals 2 and 3 with Sky Clubs, United is in Terminal 7, and the Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT) hosts the marquee international first-class lounges. The hard rule at LAX: confirm your terminal has the lounge you want, because post-security connectors are limited and going landside to switch terminals means re-clearing security in famously slow lines. Ground traffic getting to LAX is its own ordeal — build in far more time than the mileage suggests. For a card-agnostic traveler, the T4/TBIT area with both Centurion and Capital One lounges makes an Amex Platinum or Venture X especially strong here.

LAX lounge FAQ
How many airport lounges are at Los Angeles (LAX)?
Los Angeles Intl has 7 tracked lounges across 6 networks: Delta Sky Club, United Club, Admirals Club, Amex Centurion, Plaza Premium, Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club. Access rules for each are traced to an official source and re-verified regularly.
Can I buy a day pass to a lounge at LAX without a premium card?
Yes. At LAX, walk-in day passes are available at: United Club ($59), Admirals Club ($79), Plaza Premium ($35). Airline flagship networks such as Amex Centurion and Delta Sky Club do not sell walk-in day passes at any airport.
Does Delta elite status get me into the Delta Sky Club at LAX?
No. Delta Medallion status alone does not grant Sky Club access on domestic itineraries. Entry is gated by an eligible Delta-affiliated card (such as the Amex Platinum or Delta SkyMiles Reserve) while flying Delta, or by flying an eligible international premium cabin — not by status.
Can I use Priority Pass at the Admirals Club at LAX?
No. American's Admirals Club does not accept Priority Pass. Access requires Admirals Club membership (including via the Citi / AAdvantage Executive card), a qualifying American premium-cabin ticket, or a paid day pass where offered.
Which cards get me Priority Pass access at LAX?
Priority Pass membership comes bundled with several premium cards — including The Platinum Card from American Express, the Chase Sapphire Reserve, and the Capital One Venture X. At LAX, Priority Pass gets you into the independent and Plaza Premium-style lounges, but not the card-exclusive airline networks.
