Is the Qantas business lounge at LAX fully open? It is listed on the rather long list of Qantas lounges being worked on (https://www.qantas.com/au/en/freque...ge-lounge-passes.html#manageLoungeInvitations ). If it is still being worked on, when will it be open enough to allow use of passes again?

I am coming back through LAX on 23-Jul, and was looking forward to using a lounge pass: me (gold) + wife (gold guest) + son (pass). I tried linking it several times over past few months "computer says no". Is it worth ringing up and seeing if they can add it?

Any other options? AA + buy a day pass; or a decent area to sit for 4-5 hours?

I believe LAX J lounge isn't actually a Qantas one, so doesn't accept passes at any time.

How many Qantas lounges are there? I thought just 2:

the standard/business/qantas club
the first lounge

The standard one in TBIT has always been Qantas branded since I have been going.

I am not aware of any time when lounge passes have been accepted at the LAX business lounge.

There is one Qantas lounge at LAX.

It is the Qantas First lounge.

There is another lounge at TBIT, the Los Angeles Business Lounge, which is managed by Qantas. Oneworld business class and oneworld sapphire have access to this latter lounge. It is not a Qantas lounge.
