Prologue:

After arrival in LAX I had a few hours to spend so I decided to discover 2 new lounges - the recently re-opened AMEX Centurion at the Intl side and the DL Sky Club.


The AMEX lounge was opened previously but only stayed that way for a few months until closed again for a remodelation issue. I think I read something about jet fumes sipping through the lounge

Reception desk was very busy a few minutes ago.

The lounge was packed. I did not stay here for long.

The only corner with empty seats was the "reserved" area whatever that means. I briefly sat down for a drink with cookies and then left.

From Tom Bradley Intl there is a shuttle bus that takes you to T2 where DL is located.

It's nice to get so close to the planes on the tarmac.

Entrance to the new DL Skyclub. This lounge was recently opened in LAX and is considered one of the best in the system. There are amenities like showers and an outdoor deck.

Summary:

Despite the delay of my flight WN was a decent choice service wise. Agents and crew were friendly and did their job with a smile.

The AMEX lounge can be awfully overcrowded during peak times and during those times it seems preferable to wait at the gate.

The DL Skyclub on the other hand is an oasis with great amenities and a decent buffet. The lounge is tastefully designed with lots of comfortable corners.
