Los Angeles International Lounge is located on the fourth floor in the north wing of the terminal and can be accessed after passing through security check points.

EVA’s Super Business and Super First Class passengers are also entitled to lounge access.   Diamond and Gold Card members of EVA’s Evergreen Club frequent flyer program can bring one guest into the lounge.  In addition, Evergreen Club members at these levels can redeem 5,000 mileage points to bring one family member or guest into the lounge. The spacious lounge has 186 seats, Wi-Fi

and a business center equipped with individual work stations that have laptop hook-ups and telephones plus photocopier and facsimile services.  It has its own lavatories for guests and showers.  And one section can be partitioned to give dignitaries or celebrities privacy.   Waiting to board one of EVA’s 17 weekly flights to Asia or in transit, guests can relax and enjoy delicious ethnic and local foods, including sushi, sandwiches, fresh fruit and favorite snacks.  In addition to juices, gourmet coffee, tea and soft drinks, the lounge also has a full bar.  And, along with multiple flat-screen, high-definition televisions, it is fully stocked with newspapers and magazines in several languages.  EVA’s new facility is one of four mega lounges financed by the airlines themselves and designed to give travelers as much as 72% more space than those previously operated by individual carriers.  While allocation of the other three is based on the airline alliance groups, EVA shares its new lounge with eight other independent, non-affiliated airlines, including Air India, Air Tahiti Nui, China Airlines, China Eastern, El Al Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Mexicana Airlines and Philippine Airlines.  The Los Angeles International Airport began refurbishing the Tom Bradley International Terminal in Oct. 2006 and is wrapping up construction now.  Travelers can join EVA’s Evergreen Club, get more information about routes and services, and book and buy tickets via the carrier’s easy-to-use web site at http://www.evaair.com/.
