First Class access, à la carte dining, and private VIP rooms at LAX
The Star Alliance First Class Lounge is located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal at LAX. Its entrance is separate from — but next door to — the Star Alliance Business Class lounge, so look for the dedicated First Class door. Entry is limited to passengers departing LAX in long-haul First Class on a Star Alliance carrier, or those holding Air New Zealand Elite Priority One status. Inside, the lounge provides both à la carte dining and a buffet, private VIP rooms, and access to digital reading material through the PressReader app. There is also a physical globe on the floor. The lounge is open every day of the week from 8:30 AM until 1:00 AM, covering early morning departures through to late-night flights.
The lounge offers both à la carte dining and a buffet. No further detail on specific dishes, bar service, or drink selection is confirmed.

Make the most of it.
The First Class entrance is separate from the Business Class lounge next door — don't walk into the wrong door.
Access requires either a long-haul First Class ticket on a Star Alliance airline departing LAX, or Air New Zealand Elite Priority One status. No other access programs are confirmed.
The lounge closes at 1:00 AM, so if your flight departs after that, factor in time to leave.
Digital reading material is available through the PressReader app — download it before you arrive to get the most out of it.
The lounge opens at 8:30 AM, so early-morning departures before that time won't have access.
