Virgin Atlantic Unveils New Clubhouse at LAX: A Luxe Retreat for Travelers

Virgin Atlantic has announced an exciting new addition to its portfolio of premium services: the opening of an iconic Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) early next year. Situated in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, this state-of-the-art lounge promises to offer travelers a lavish and personalized experience before their flights to London and beyond. With its proximity to the Virgin Atlantic gates, passengers can fully enjoy the Clubhouse’s amenities before boarding their flights.

The new Clubhouse will be a showcase of Virgin Atlantic’s renowned attention to detail and commitment to customer comfort. Designed with the airline’s signature style, the space will feature an expansive bar and social area where guests can enjoy table service dining. The Clubhouse will also include exclusive areas such as ‘The Royal Box,’ a VIP Booth offering an elevated level of privacy and luxury, as well as versatile seating arrangements for working, dining, and socializing.

In keeping with its location, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will pay tribute to Los Angeles with local artwork and mood lighting inspired by the California sunset. The design aims to create a soothing atmosphere, helping travelers adjust to their circadian rhythms and promoting mindfulness and relaxation. This thoughtful approach is intended to enhance the pre-flight experience, setting passengers up for a restful journey.

For those who need to stay connected, the Clubhouse will offer wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and numerous power outlets throughout the space, including at the bar and in private pods where travelers can make calls or complete work tasks in a tranquil environment. The lounge will also feature showers and changing facilities, allowing guests to freshen up before their flight.

The Clubhouse’s cocktail bar will be a highlight, with in-house mixologists preparing a range of signature drinks, including the renowned Virgin Redhead. This nod to the airline’s award-winning London Heathrow Clubhouse will ensure that travelers can enjoy the same high-quality service and signature cocktails that have become a hallmark of Virgin Atlantic’s lounges.

Corneel Koster, Virgin Atlantic’s Chief Customer & Operating Officer, expressed excitement about the new opening, stating, “We’re thrilled to bring our award-winning Clubhouse to the vibrant, entertainment capital Los Angeles, where we know business and leisure travelers alike will enjoy our experience before their flight across the pond. Our latest Clubhouse will have something special for every customer, from signature dishes to British designer finishes, plus some fun surprises you’d only expect from Virgin Atlantic. And we know our amazing teams will bring the experience to life brilliantly.”

The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses have garnered numerous accolades, including the 2024 ‘Best Business Class Lounge in Europe’ from the Skytrax World Airline Awards and ‘Best Airport Lounge’ from the Newsweek Readers’ Choice Awards. The addition of the LAX Clubhouse further solidifies Virgin Atlantic’s commitment to providing exceptional travel experiences and underscores the airline’s dedication to expanding its premium offerings.

As travelers prepare for their journeys through LAX, they can look forward to an enhanced travel experience with the new Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse. The blend of luxury, local inspiration, and exceptional service promises to make this new lounge a standout feature in one of the world’s busiest airports, ensuring that passengers depart feeling refreshed and ready for their next adventure.
