The American Airlines LAX Flagship Lounge at Terminal 4 is one of my favorite lounges at Los Angeles International Airport. I\u2019ve been to this lounge many times and have reviewed it here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and most recently here<\/a>. There\u2019s always something new at this lounge from time to time and this time there was a new Martini Bar during the evening hours.<\/p>\n

I was able to access the Flagship Lounge at the LAX Admirals Club because I was an American Airlines Executive Platinum member flying on an international itinerary. The AAngel handed me a key access card to access the LAX Flagship Lounge.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was at the lounge during dinner time and I\u2019ve never seen it crowded, ever.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The dinner buffet spread consisted of mini deli sandwiches, fruit salad, assorted cheese and crackers, pasta salad, and balsamic roasted vegetable salad.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX3\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX4\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX5\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX6\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The main entr\u00e9e consisted of tangy mustard maple syrup marinated & roasted pork loin with whole grain mustard sauce served with roasted seasonal vegetables and rice.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also garden vegetable soup, cookies, assorted chips, granola bars, whole fresh fruit, and a nut mix.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX8\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX9\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX10\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX11\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A coffee machine was available in addition to a fridge full of water and soft drink beverages.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX12\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX13\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Alcoholic spirits, wine, and champagne were also available.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX14\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX15\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a little bit of everything and the pork loin was delicious.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX21\"<\/a> \"AAflagshiploungeLAX22\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One thing that I noticed that was a new Martini bar being set up right next to the Flagship check-in desk. This is in addition to the self-serve alcoholic offerings near the buffet spread.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX17\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Martini Bar menu features five unique cocktails and reads as follows:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

FLS Rose Charade<\/strong> \u2013 Stair & Strain \u2013 With the Botanist Gin, Martini &Rossi Bianco Vermouth and Cherry Heering Brandy (Garnish: Rose Petal)<\/p>\n

Talk of the Lounge<\/strong> \u2013 Shake & Strain \u2013 With Tito\u2019s Vodka, St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, Lemon Juice and Simple Syrup (Garnish: Lemon Twist)<\/p>\n

Gimme Gimlet<\/strong> \u2013 Stir & Strain \u2013 With Bombay Sapphire East Gin, Lime Juice, and Simple Syrup (Garnish: Lime Wheel)<\/p>\n

Vodkatini 831<\/strong> \u2013 Shake & Strain \u2013 With Grey Goose Vodka and Martini & Rossi Bianco Vermouth (Garnish: Olives)<\/p>\n

Crisp Cool Cucumber<\/strong> \u2013 Stir & Strain \u2013 With Hendrick\u2019s Gin and Martini & Rossi Bianco Vermouth (Garnish: Cucumber Slice)<\/p>\n

There is even a table of lite bites (in addition to the normal buffet spread) to go with your martini. The lite bites include bleu cheese, sundried tomatoes, salami, and olives.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was so much to choose from and the bartender recommended tonight\u2019s feature which was the Talk of the Lounge martini drink. I went with the Talk of the Lounge and also sampled the appetizers. The martini was pretty strong, but felt refreshing like lemonade. The appetizers were also pretty good.<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX23\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I finished my meal with delicious Flagship chocolates which was available from the Flagship Lounge check-in counter (look for the basket full of chocolates).<\/p>\n

\"AAflagshiploungeLAX24\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The bartender also mentioned that the new Martini bar has been getting a lot of good feedback so far from guests. The Martini Bar is only open during the evening from 5:30pm to 11pm. I love it so far and highly recommend the Talk of the Lounge drink!<\/p>\n
