On my return journey to Tokyo on ANA, I had the privilege of visiting one of the six Star Alliance Lounges in the world, at Los Angeles International Airport!

The Star Alliance Lounge is located on the upper level of terminal not too far away from the departures’ TSA checkpoints.

It was very quiet when I arrived but it didn’t take long before the whole lounge with buzzing with people travelling to all corners of the world.

It is a very large lounge with a variety of seating, some quieter and more comfortable than others. The highlight of the dining area must be the wine cabinet wall!

At one end of the lounge is a walkway that leads to the showers (which unfortunately were closed) and a ramp to the rooftop terrace!

There are more seating at this corner of the lounge and another bar on the outside terrace which overlooks the shopping area of the terminal.
