American Airlines Flagship Lounge

Located in Terminal 4 at LAX, the American Airlines Flagship Lounge offers a respite from the chaos of one of the busiest airports in the world.

Situated near Gate 40, this lounge shares space with an Admirals Club, though it’s clear from the outset that the Flagship Lounge is a cut above.

Access

Access to the lounge is reserved for select travelers, ensuring the experience remains exclusive. Entry is granted to those flying in Business or First class on qualifying international routes. Transcontinental Business or First class flyers on specific routes, such as LAX-JFK, are also welcome, though without guest privileges. Additionally, toptier AAdvantage members and Oneworld elites enjoy access on international trips. The stringent access rules, particularly for Flagship First Dining, underscore the premium nature of this lounge.
