LAX Transit - access to QF F Lounge (or J lounge..?)

[Sukina]

Hi All
Haven't transited through LAX in a while, and had previously done so with Star Alliance rather than One World.

Does anyone have any experience at accessing the QF lounges in Tom Bradley, even if your next departing flight is AA from Terminal 4?

Arriving on QF93, I'm hoping to clear immigration, recheck bag, then head back in for a shower and breakfast before my next departing AA domestic flight (with QF flight number) at 11am (4.5 hour window). Knowing access beyond security is limited to passengers, does anyone have experience accessing a terminal they're not departing from? And once airside at Tom Bradley is it possible to access Terminal 4 via airside and not clear security again?

I know we can access to the AA lounge in Terminal 4, but would prefer to use the QF lounge if I can!

Thanks in advance!

Possible to access but it does mean clearing security twice - which can take a while depending on time

Had no issue using the Oneworld lounge then heading back to T4 for our flight. Just give yourself plenty of time.

Question's been asked lots of times on here.
And yes you can

Being a non AAdvantage elite travelling oneworld you should be fine for access.

Even an AAdvantage elite should be fine with that itinerary.

However I have seen reports of access being denied despite what it states on oneworld.com.

Yesterday on FT I saw a post from a BAEC Gold being denied access due to being on a domestic AA itinerary.
