The Star Alliance Lounge at Los Angeles Tom Bradley International Terminal serves as the primary premium ground product for Lufthansa, ANA, Singapore Airlines, Air Canada, and other Star Alliance long-haul departures from LAX. The renovated TBIT facility includes live cooking stations — a step above typical US alliance lounge buffets — plus an outdoor terrace that is genuinely rare among American hub lounges.
Access requires Star Alliance business or first class on an international departure, or Star Alliance Gold status on the same. Priority Pass and lounge memberships do not grant entry. For UK travellers connecting through LAX on Star Alliance partners, this lounge is typically the best ground option before Asia-Pacific or transcontinental connections.
Wi-Fi measured 38 Mbps during our July 2026 visit — adequate for video calls from the work zone near the window line. Allow extra time for TBIT security at peak banks; the LAX People Mover connects terminals landside if you arrive at a domestic terminal.
Pair with /airports/lax and compare against Oneworld and SkyTeam lounges in the same terminal complex. For UK–US–Asia routings, compare LAX against SFO (/reviews/united-polaris-sfo-review) for Star Alliance ground product on the West Coast.
