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.”

Hawaiian Airlines just offered a preview of its upcoming premium lounge at Honolulu’s Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL). Set to open in 2027, the lounge is part of Alaska Air Group’s 3-year strategic plan following its merger with Hawaiian Airlines.
A premium space inspired by Hawaii

The new space will be situated in Terminal 1 by the entrance of the Mauka Concourse, with a footprint five times the size of the current lounge. The design is inspired by the natural elements of Hawaii, with organic forms, intentional areas of surprise, and tactile discovery. It’ll be a space imbued with ocean energy, with vivid colors, sculptural shapes, and reflective light beams. Both Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines guests can enjoy the serene environment.

Here's what it's like flying this direct route to Vail from San Deigo
Vail on the Winter Solstice

I gazed at the surroundings as I rode toward San Diego International Airport. The morning sun lit up the cityscape, with ships along the waterfront and pedestrians walking through the Embarcadero. The skyscrapers resembled giant beach bungalows, and the silhouettes of palm trees cut across the Pacific Ocean. Over the prior 24 hours, I’d been enchanted by the town’s culture and spirit. I didn’t want to leave.

But Vail, Colorado awaited, and with the impending Winter Solstice, I couldn’t wait to snowboard on its wide-open terrain. How would I get there?
