Korean Air is set to open its newly renovated flagship lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on 6 March. Situated in the Tom Bradley International Terminal, this two-level space is now the airline's largest directly operated overseas lounge, marking a significant investment of $48 million (KRW 65 billion). Designed by LTW Designworks, the lounge reflects Korean Air's evolving brand philosophy and rich heritage, ahead of its integration with Asiana Airlines.
The lounge offers a premium experience with a First Class Lounge featuring private suites, à la carte dining, and a cocktail bar. The Miler Club and Prestige Class Lounges provide an open-kitchen concept with local Southern California craft beers and a signature Los Angeles coffee blend. Passengers can also enjoy digital ordering via QR codes, premium showers, and business areas.
LAX serves as Korean Air's primary North American gateway, and the lounge is accessible to Korean Air and SkyTeam premium passengers.
Following this opening, a renovated lounge at New York's JFK Airport is planned for later this year. David Pacey, Executive Vice President and Chief of In-flight Service and Lounges at Korean Air, stated, “We will continue to invest in our services and infrastructure to exceed the expectations of our global customers.”
This development strengthens Korean Air's global presence, offering international travellers a refined and differentiated premium experience
