- it sure beats the $50USD to pay in to an AA lounge (I must say i was tempted when I had a 10hr layover at LAX!!).[/b]

Nick, I do believe I&#39;ve found you a place to hang your hat next time you&#39;re in town.
reLAX Lounge located ( outside security) in the Bradley Terminal. There&#39;s complimentary snacks (there&#39;s also a pay snack bar) and they soon will sell alcohol. There&#39;s also free internet, computers, printers, some great views and some really comfortable chairs
current rates
$10 for 1 hour
$25 for 3 hours
$35 for 5 hours

Awesome, thanks Mig! Everytime I go somewhere when I plan long layovers I check if they have a pay-in lounge. I had googled LAX a few times but never found this Will definitely check it out next time.

Oh and do you know if they do airline staff discounts? Edit - I emailed them to check

So i got thinking about this post again.

Does anyone have any experience with priority pass?

Considering the amount I travel the fee is not too bad, and they have lounges at most of the places I end up traveling to or through.

The only catch I noticed is once again the "Airline, airport and other travel industry employees traveling on reduced-rate tickets may not be eligible for access" in their t&cs.

I still fail to understand this so well... it is one thing to show up at a lounge with your non rev ticket at try and access that carriers lounge for free. It is another to pay priority pass who the lounge then bill for your access - essentially you are giving the airline revenue!

Has anyone had experience with this? Any opinions?

I can see that there would be no issue entering third party lounges (for example in HKG it is run by plaza premium lounges, or a lot are by servisair in Europe), however in the USA most are operated by airlines (NW, UA, US, DL mainly). Are they likely to take issue? Are they less likely to take issue if you enter a lounge run by say US when you are non revving on AA? Seems to me one could get away with it that way.... as with priority pass whoever the lounge is run by doesn&#39;t have to correspond with what airline you fly.

we are not permitted to use the Delta lounges as part of PP membership because we&#39;re Delta employees when we travel nonrev. NOW, if we buy a slightly discounted Crown Room membership for minimum 1 year we can use ours/partner lounges.

Interesting... i wish we could do that

Although PP would give me more options that my airline / partners anyways. My question is, say i was nonrevving on american, but the designated PP lounge for that terminal was a DL lounge, would DL care i am nonrevving on AA? They can&#39;t discriminate what airline you are flying on as whoever is a member they have to let in, but would they still get all hung up on the fact you are staff?

Also beggars the next question... if you pull your paper ticket off, and all you have is a BP or SD, how would they know?

In here now Mig... waiting it out on the bottom of a list of 70 staff trying for 20 available seats over three flights to MEL/SYD.

So I hear LAX is a 3 drink minimum airport... feeling that way today for sure after negotiating TBIT, but this ReLAX place still has no alcohol is sight!! The surroundings are certainly nicer than outside though... aside from the puzzling fact that they have no restroom or showers :/

so what&#39;s so reLAXing if they have no toilets??
