About this lounge

The USO Center at LAX is located at 201 World Way in the Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport. It's open Sunday through Friday, 7:00am to 9:00pm, and is free to use for active-duty military, National Guard, reserves, military retirees, and their dependent family members — a valid military ID is required. The center is stocked with a solid range of amenities: showers, daily meals, beverages, coffee and tea, Wi-Fi, computers, printers, phones, and charging stations. There's also a children's play area, baby changing station, a sleeping and quiet area, and a patio with outdoor space. It's one of 16 lounges across LAX, and it's the only one specifically serving the military community at this airport.
