Virgin Atlantic will open its latest Clubhouse lounge next year at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the airline said Thursday.
The lounge, which will be in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2025.
"We're thrilled to bring our award-winning Clubhouse to the vibrant, entertainment capital of Los Angeles, where we know business and leisure travelers alike will enjoy our experience before their flight across the pond," Virgin Atlantic's Chief Operating Officer Corneel Koster said in a statement.

"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," Koster added.
The new lounge will feature Virgin's usual top-tier amenities, including plenty of space to sit, an expansive bar, a full menu with table service, showers and private work areas.
Virgin said that the new lounge will feature plenty of local touches, such as artwork and mood lighting meant to pay homage to California sunsets. The lounge will also feature a handful of unique "exclusive" spaces, including a VIP booth called "The Royal Box."
Access to the lounge is limited to customers flying in Upper Class on Virgin Atlantic or Delta One on Delta Air Lines, along with SkyTeam Elite Plus members flying on a SkyTeam international flight. Connecting passengers must be traveling on the same day.
Virgin previously operated a lounge at LAX but closed it permanently during the pandemic as it shifted its operations from Terminal 2 to the Tom Bradley International Terminal. The airline also has Clubhouses in three other U.S. airports: New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), San Francisco International Airport (SFO) and Washington's Dulles International Airport (IAD).
