In Q1 2025, Virgin Atlantic will bring its iconic Clubhouse lounge experience to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Besides its signature touches — like a wide-open bar and social area, private spaces, and table-service dining — the lounge will feature L.A.-influenced details, giving patrons a true feel for the West Coast city.

Virgin Atlantic Clubhouses are award-winning spaces where travelers can work, play, or prepare for the next leg of their journey. The lounges are the recipient of Newsweek’s “Best Airport Lounge” award and Skytrax World Airline Awards’ 2024 “Best Business Class Lounge in Europe”. The LAX clubhouse continues the tradition while adding unique L.A. flair.

Patrons can grab a drink — like the signature Virgin Redhead — while enjoying social time at the expansive bar. They can also host a private get-together at “The Royal Box”, a private VIP area, or catch up on important work in designated spaces. Tech-focused amenities can be found throughout, like Bluetooth connectivity, wireless charging, and power outlets.

The LAX clubhouse adds a West Coast feel, with local artwork and mood lighting that’s reminiscent of a California sunset. To prepare passengers for a restful flight, the space focuses on relaxation and mindfulness, to optimize circadian rhythms. Not only that, but showers and changing facilities let fliers clean up and refresh before a long flight.

Corneel Koster, Chief Customer & Operating Officer, Virgin Atlantic, said: “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.”

Air travel can be a hassle, but there's good news for anyone flying to or from Washington, DC. The National Park Service (NPS) has approved two projects aimed at enhancing the traveling experience for Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and the surrounding areas. These initiatives focus on improving both pedestrian and vehicle access to ultimately create a more efficient and secure experience for all commuters.
Here are the upgrades coming to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport
 

The first of these projects is called CC2DCA, which aims to connect Crystal City to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport with safer, more accessible routes for pedestrians and cyclists. The CC2DCA project is designed to encourage green travel by making non-car travel, like walking, biking, and public transportation, more convenient. The NPS worked closely with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) on this project since it utilizes land from the George Washington Memorial Parkway.
