Virgin Atlantic Inaugurates Its New Clubhouse at Los Angeles Airport
Starting this Friday, Virgin Atlantic passengers can enjoy a premium experience at the airline’s new Clubhouse at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Designed to offer a relaxing pre-flight atmosphere, this exclusive space combines wellness, dining, and entertainment in a sophisticated setting—perfect for those looking to unwind from the city’s hustle before crossing the Atlantic.
Located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, the Clubhouse has been conceived as a multisensory retreat. Its lighting, inspired by Los Angeles sunsets, creates a serene ambiance, while the decor, featuring works by local artists, pays homage to the city. Additionally, the adaptive lighting system helps synchronize travelers’ circadian rhythms, promoting restorative rest before boarding one of Virgin Atlantic’s three nightly flights to London-Heathrow.
Exclusive Spaces and Immersive Experiences
The LAX Clubhouse offers diverse areas for guest comfort. Among them is the Ruby Room, a Hollywood-inspired space with a cinema equipped with Bluetooth headphones. For those seeking a more exclusive experience, The Royal Box provides privacy, adjustable ambient lighting, and a secret menu.
Travelers in need of a focused environment will find soundproof work cabins in The Wing, named after iconic recording studios like The Manor, Olympic Studios, and Sunset Sound—a nod to Virgin Records’ history.

For those looking to disconnect, The Zen Den offers relaxation, movement, and mindfulness sessions through the award-winning FORME Studio smart fitness mirror. In this space, guests can access three wellness categories: Mind, Body, and Spirit, with personalized guided sessions that begin with a welcome message from Sir Richard Branson.
The Clubhouse also features personal care products from Flamingo Estate, made with natural ingredients sourced from over 125 farms using regenerative practices. Highlights include shower gels and lotions infused with rosemary, sage, and bergamot.
High-Quality Cuisine and Signature Cocktails
The LAX Clubhouse redefines airport dining with table service at every seat and a diverse culinary offering to meet all dietary needs. Standout dishes include tuna poke, California rolls, tofu pho, and California fig salad. Lighter options such as Mediterranean quinoa salad, crudités with hummus, and trail mix are also available.
The drink menu features healthy choices like TRIP Mindful Blend, a non-alcoholic cocktail formulated with ashwagandha, magnesium, and L-theanine to promote relaxation and rest. For those preferring a more traditional experience, Virgin Atlantic has crafted exclusive cocktails like the Twisted Angel, a mix of Aperol and gin inspired by Los Angeles.
“ReLAX and Unwind”: Alan Cumming’s Voice Enhances the Experience
In an innovative twist, Virgin Atlantic has partnered with Emmy-winning actor and presenter Alan Cumming to narrate a relaxation story titled “ReLAX and Unwind with Alan Cumming.” Created to help passengers ease into a state of calm before their flight, the story is available for viewing and listening in the Clubhouse.
Cumming, a frequent traveler between the U.S. and the U.K., shared his enthusiasm for the collaboration: “A long-haul flight is one of the few times I can truly disconnect. I see it as a spa day in the sky. I fix my drink, settle in with my pillows, and enjoy the experience.”
A Haven for the Modern Traveler
The opening of the LAX Clubhouse responds to a growing demand for relaxing pre-flight experiences. A recent Virgin Atlantic study revealed that 44% of Americans feel anxious about sleeping on flights, and 59% turn to stories, podcasts, or meditations to relax before traveling. With this new space, the airline reinforces its commitment to delivering a premium service that prioritizes passenger well-being.
The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LAX operates daily from 11:30 a.m.
With this new space, the airline reaffirms its dedication to a sophisticated, relaxing, and stylish travel experience.
