I\u2019ve written about the American Airlines LAX Flagship Lounge here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and most recently here<\/a>. For trip report continuity reasons, I am reviewing it again since it was my most recent visit and food items might have been changed.<\/p>\n

It was early in the morning and I had just gotten to the Admiral\u2019s Club at LAX at 5am. The Flagship Lounge doesn\u2019t open until 5:15am. I was granted access because of my Executive Platinum status on American Airlines and I was on an international itinerary.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I was pretty much the first and only one in the lounge for the first thirty minutes, so the lounge was empty and there was plenty of available seating.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge2\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge3\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge4\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge5\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a small business center with computers and a printer.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge7\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There are also cool lounge chairs with an ottoman and music players with headphones.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge7a\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The buffet spread was during breakfast and the menu reads as follows:<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge8\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge9\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The cold spread consisted of berries, cereal, whole fruit, granola bars, mixed nuts, bagels, and pastries.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge10\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge11\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge12\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The hot selections were buckeye oatmeal, waffles, eggs, potatoes, and chicken sausage.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge13\"<\/a> \"laxaaflaglounge14\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The alcoholic beverages were not out at this time, but there was a whole fridge full of cold water, juices, and soft drinks.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t hungry that morning and had eggs, potatoes, and sausage.<\/p>\n

\"laxaaflaglounge16\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The breakfast is nothing to write home about as the eggs were tasteless and the potatoes were a bit hard. The chicken sausage was good, but overall the breakfast is disappointing if you only like hot selections.<\/p>\n
