The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge has gotten its new home at Los Angeles International after the major terminal move that Delta initiated (and paid for) in 2017. The lounge sits next to the Delta and Aeromexico gates (and of course the Virgin Atlantic gates but not the Virgin America ones). The LAX Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse is […]
