VS have released some new images of the new Clubhouse to be opened at TBIT in LAX.

The lights over the bar are shown to switch colours, which isn't reflected in my screenshot above.

The new Clubhouse looks roughly the same size as the old T2 one which closed in 2020, although with a different layout. Im not entirely clear exactly how much natural light the new one will get, I am not overly familiar with where in TBIT the new space is, although one of the pics does appear to have windows down the left hand side opposite the bar.

It will open ‘in first quarter of 2025’ and will also have showers (unlike the old LAX Clubhouse) according to business traveller

FINALLY! I hammered Rami about this before he left. It’s excellent news. LAX is now my most common VS route and I’m sick to death of the Star Alliance lounge in Tom Bradley.

Really hope it has a lot of natural light, the old T2 lounge was a lovely place to spend time.

Just having a look at the old Etihad lounge, which is the space VS are taking over, it looks like the bar pretty much stays where it is with the windows only overlooking the interior of TBIT.

Has anyone heard anything on the planned opening date of the new Clubhouse, as it was due to open by the end of this month?

I would suspect April because that's when the summer season starts

The new Clubhouse opens Friday 28th March:

Woo-hoo

Flying out of LAX 20th April, give them a few weeks to resolve any bedding in issues
