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.

"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.
