LOS ANGELES, Nov. 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Cue the
velvet ropes and flashbulbs: today United Airlines unveiled its
newest United Club, the jewel in the airline's $573 million project to refresh nearly all of its
customer-facing spaces in Terminal 7 and Concourse 8 at
Los Angeles International Airport
(LAX).
At more than 20,000 square feet, the LAX United Club is one of
the airline's largest and most stylish. The location features a
gourmet kitchen and bar offering expanded food and beverage
options, seating areas conducive to working and lounging and
spectacular views of the airport, the Hollywood Hills and the Los
Angles skyline. The design also takes advantage of the city's
gorgeous year-round weather, with a spacious and scenic outdoor
terrace where customers can relax with a cocktail or a meal
alfresco.

"When you think of Los Angeles,
you think of glamour and sophistication, and this new United Club
certainly reflects that," said Julia
Haywood, the airline's executive vice president and chief
commercial officer. "LAX is a key piece of our global route
network, and we're incredibly proud that it will house one of our
finest United Clubs. Aesthetically, it's unlike any other, with
panoramic views of the city and an outdoor terrace. These unique
amenities – along with fresh food, wine menus, craft cocktails and,
most importantly, exceptional service and hospitality for our
customers – will elevate the entire experience to something that
will truly impress and delight visitors."
United's terminal redevelopment initiative at LAX promises to
deliver a superior and reimagined experience to the travelers at
LAX, one of the airline's premier West Coast hubs and a key
domestic and international gateway. Over the past several months,
United has opened a new economy lobby, new baggage claim areas and,
in cooperation with the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA),
installed a new security checkpoint complete with five
state-of-the-art automated screening lanes to modernize the airport
security experience for the airline's customers.
