United Reveals New Lounge at LAX

United Airlines has unveiled its latest United Club Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), which features a scenic outdoor terrace where customers can dine alfresco in the Californian sunshine. 

The new United LAX lounge received a makeover as part of a $573 million project to refresh all of United's customer-facing spaces in Terminal 7 and Concourse 8, providing travellers with a more sophisticated and reimagined experience. Measuring over 20,000 square feet it is now one of the largest and most stylish United Club Lounges, offering views of the airport, the Hollywood Hills and the Los Angles skyline. The new location features a gourmet kitchen and bar offering expanded food and beverage options, as well as seating areas that are more comfortable for working and lounging.

"When you think of Los Angeles, you think of glamour and sophistication, and this new United Club certainly reflects that," said Julia Haywood, the airline's executive vice president and chief commercial officer.

"LAX is a key piece of our global route network, and we're incredibly proud that it will house one of our finest United Clubs. Aesthetically, it's unlike any other, with panoramic views of the city and an outdoor terrace. These unique amenities – along with fresh food, wine menus, craft cocktails and, most importantly, exceptional service and hospitality for our customers – will elevate the entire experience to something that will truly impress and delight visitors."

Los Angeles International airport is one of United's major West Coast hubs and the airline currently operates 150 daily flights from LAX to more than 50 destinations across the globe. Over the past few months United has uinstalled a new economy lobby, new baggage claim areas and a new security checkpoint complete with five state-of-the-art automated screening lanes to modernize the airport security experience for the airline's customers.
