Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse at LAX
Virgin Atlantic has unveiled its new Clubhouse at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Thoughtfully designed with wellness in mind, the lounge offers exclusive amenities, spaces and experiences tailored to enhance the preflight experience for eligible customers.
The Clubhouse is located beyond the TSA checkpoint in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, 6th Floor, accessible via elevator or escalator. For elevator, take the elevator at the clock tower in the main atrium shopping area to level six. For escalator, take the escalator up to level 5, turn right and take the second set of escalators to level 6. The Clubhouse is open from around 4 hours prior to Virgin Atlantic flights.

Exclusive Experiences at the LAX Clubhouse
Guests can relax, work and dine in the Ruby Room, a Hollywood-inspired space with its own cinema featuring wireless headsets connected via Bluetooth, or retreat to The Royal Box, a destination for VIPs featuring adjustable mood lighting and a secret menu.
For those needing a quiet space to focus, The Wing‘s acoustically-sealed work pods nod to Virgin Records’ legacy, named after iconic studios like The Manor, Olympic Studios, and Sunset Sound, where legendary artists once recorded.
Spaces throughout invite cozy collaboration for those looking to get some work done before they depart. However they choose to spend their time, guests can stay connected throughout, with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and plenty of places to plug in.
The Zen Den is an immersive space featuring relaxation, movement and mindfulness sessions powered by the FORME Studio, an award-winning smart fitness mirror. A unique way to wind down, refresh, refocus or reenergize before crossing the Atlantic in style. Guests can explore three exclusive categories – Mind, Body, and Spirit – each offering a selection of guided sessions from FORME’s extensive library. The experience begins with a personalized welcome video from Virgin Atlantic founder, Sir Richard Branson, setting the stage for a curated experience.
When it’s time to spruce up, shower and body products from Flamingo Estate’s Garden Essentials collection elevate the sensory experience, including a Rosemary and Clary Sage Body Wash and Hand Soap, nourishing Rosemary Shampoo and Tulsi Conditioner, and Clary Sage and Ionian Bergamot Body Lotion. All products are made from natural ingredients, sourced from a network of over 125 farms using regenerative practices.
Deliciously Different Dining
Those looking to fuel up before their flight can enjoy table service from their preferred spot, available at every seat. Guests will delight in signature dishes and wholesome options that cater to all dietary needs, including a tuna poke bowl, California roll, tofu pho, Californian fig salad and much more. Convenient and health-conscious bites like Mediterranean quinoa salad, raw vegetables and hummus, citrus kale salad, and trail mix are also available for self-serve at the brasserie.
The beverage menu features low and no-alcohol offerings like TRIP Mindful Blend, designed to promote sleep and wellness, combining lion’s mane, magnesium, ashwagandha and L-theanine with an infusion of nature’s botanicals. For those who prefer a more spirited wind down, cocktails crafted by Virgin Atlantic’s in-house mixologist include the Twisted Angel, created specifically for Angelinos, featuring Aperol and gin with a cheeky nod to the ethereal halo that lights the bar.
“ReLAX and Unwind with Alan Cumming”
In celebration of the Clubhouse opening and to lull travelers into a pre-flight dream-like state, Virgin Atlantic has partnered with Actor and Emmy-winning TV Host Alan Cumming to narrate the airline’s first-ever original bedtime story. “ReLAX and Unwind with Alan Cumming” invites travelers to immerse themselves in a soothing narrative that highlights the personal touches of Virgin Atlantic’s in-flight experience, perfect for setting the tone for a restful flight.
“I travel between the US and the UK all the time, and I honestly adore a long-haul flight. It’s one of the few times I have just for myself and so I treat it like a spa day in the skies! I have a rule that I am not allowed to say no to anything I am offered (within reason of course- treachery is always a no!), so from the pre-flight champagne onwards everything is welcomed with open arms. And as the lights dim and I change into my PJs and fluff my pillows, I actually enjoy it more than bedtime at home,” said Cumming. “So I feel honored and agog at the idea of lending my voice to a story that will soothe and delight passengers as they’re sipping a cocktail or a cuppa, tucking themselves in and being lulled to dreamland in the skies on Virgin Atlantic flights going all over the world. See you in the Clubhouse. Mine’s a vodka martini!”
