Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse set to return to LAX

by Rose White

Virgin Atlantic is set to open its Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at Los Angeles International Airport in early 2025. The lounge, located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, will invite customers to relax and enjoy the airline’s premium, personalised experience before they board their flight to London and beyond.

Virgin Atlantic previously operated a Clubhouse at LAX up until April 2021 when the facility was closed during the pandemic. That space was taken over by SkyTeam airline alliance and joint venture partner, Delta Air Lines.

The new Clubhouse will be located a few minutes away from the Virgin Atlantic gates so guests can soak up every moment in the space before boarding.

The Clubhouse will feature Virgin Atlantic’s signature touches including an expansive bar and social area with table service dining options, exclusive spaces – including a VIP Booth dubbed ‘The Royal Box’ – and flexible seating areas in which to work, dine and connect.

The airline will pay homage to the City of Angels with local artwork and inspired mood lighting to give customers a taste of the California sunset as they wind down. With nighttime routines and carefully perfected pre-sleep rituals in mind, the space is designed to optimise customers’ circadian rhythm and encourage mindfulness and relaxation, setting them up for a restful flight. Travellers can stay connected with wireless charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and plenty of power outlets throughout, including at the bar and in private pods where they can take calls or finish emails in a peaceful setting.

In addition to spaces to relax, work and dine, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will offer showers and changing facilities to those wishing to freshen up before continuing to their destination. As with the airline’s award-winning London Heathrow Clubhouse, the expansive cocktail bar’s in-house mixologists will be shaking up customer favourites, including its signature drink, the Virgin Redhead.

“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 Clubhouse will be open daily.
