Emirates opens new lounge at LAX

Emirates has opened a new lounge for its premium passengers at Los Angeles International Airport.

The new 480m² Emirates Lounge, which is located in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, was developed at a cost of US$6.2 million and can seat up to 157 people.

The facility comes equipped with a business centre, complimentary Wi-Fi, TV and reading areas, shower facilities and a prayer room. There is also an open buffet area and a free bar service.

“Our third dedicated airport lounge in the US underpins our commitment to providing our premium customers with a great travel experience, and delivering on the high standards they have come to expect from Emirates,” said Mohammed H. Mattar, Emirates’ divisional senior vice president of airport services.

“The new lounge design is inspired by the understated luxury of our lounges in Dubai’s Concourse A, and is reflective of the discerning tastes of our premium customers.”

Emirates started flying to LAX in 2008 and upgraded the service in December 2013 with the deployment of its Airbus A380 aircraft.

With the opening of the new LAX facility, Emirates now operates 37 lounges around the world, including facilities at New York JFK and San Francisco airports.
