The BEST First Class Lounge in America? ✈️

Why It Matters

For premium travelers and airlines, the lounge underscores how differentiated, high-end ground experiences can enhance customer loyalty and justify premium fares; it also signals competitive investment in flagship amenities at major international hubs.

Summary

The video reviews the Quantis first class lounge at LAX’s Tom Bradley International terminal, highlighting its design, amenities and entry rules. Designed by Mark Newsen with mid-century-inspired furnishings and bespoke materials, the lounge features a 48-foot Kurara marble bar, a 74-seat dining room with chef Neil Perry’s seasonal menu, spacious shower suites with Lega Spa products, and on-demand clothing press services. Access is restricted to international first-class passengers on Quantis or other oneworld carriers, and oneworld Emerald members flying that day. The lounge operates from 6:30 a.m. until the last Quantis departure and is recommended as a worthwhile pre-flight detour for eligible travelers.

Original Description

The Qantas First Lounge at LAX might be the best airline lounge in the U.S. — but you’ll need international first class on Qantas or Oneworld Emerald status flying a Oneworld airline that day to get inside.
