Lounge access at LAX

Hi,

The VA website says that Upper Class passengers now have access to the Air New Zealand lounge in terminal 2 at LAX. Does anybody know if non-Upper class passengers can pay for access to the lounge?
We are flying back from Papeete to LAX (overnight) and then have a 6 hour wait for VA PE flight to LHR, it would be nice to be able to use the showers in the lounge.

Thanks

I Doubt it very much.

You can get into this Lounge at LAX terminal 2 with priorty pass: Northwest worldclub
Location: Airside - on Mezzanine Level - adjacent to elevators.

Opening Hours: 05:30 - 21:00 Monday, Thursday & Saturday. 05:30 - 18:00 Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday & Sunday.

No showers but free booze.

Long and expensive route of buying a US Airways Club membership. $550 but can access all Star Lounges. Requires a same-day ticket on the corresponding Star Alliance airline so I assume you would meet the rules.

You can pay to access the ANZ lounge at LAX if i remember rightly but was flying uc so i cant be sure sorry, the ANZ lounge has a cold buffet and has shower facilites.

The other option is to pay to join the Qantas Club, which gets you into any OneWorld lounge worldwide (1 year costs Au$625 or £252) but you do have to by travelling on a OneWorld airline that day.
