I’m sitting in the Star Alliance First Class Lounge at LAX, killing time before my flight to Germany.  And since free internet is one of the perks here, I thought I’d post a little review.

First Class Star Alliance Lounge, LAX

It’s quiet.  Really quiet.  Pin-drop quiet in here.  There are a lot of seats but not many passengers in them.  The Business Class Lounge is right next door and quite a bit more lively — and larger too.  I assume it is very quiet in here to give it that “exclusive” feel.  Personally, I prefer a little more background noise, but hey, that’s just me.

The lounge overlooks a massive construction project at LAX…the expansion or building of a new terminal at LAX.  Not the greatest view now, but I’m sure when it’s done, it’ll be lovely!

The food selection for a First Class lounge isn’t anything to write home about.  Bags of chips you could buy at any market and some packaged cookies are on the table.  They do have a small selection of sushi, but I’m pretty sure it is from Costco.  They do have an okay selection of wines and spirits, sodas and bottled water.

There are several shower rooms that both the First and Business Class passengers can use too.  All in all, a nice place to relax before the long flight over the pond.
