United Airlines Red Carpet Club

It's ok. I expected better from LAX. It's dated and old furniture leaves a lot to be desired. Someone took home electrical outlets and fitted them into the tables it seems. Same old snacks as all the united clubs. Staff was very friendly.

I have been to quite a few United Clubs around the world and this one is still one of the least supplied lounge. There are bagels, frozen yogurt, bananas, orange juice, milk and cereal. There is also a cheap booze station for paid drinks. The lounge is clean and organized or I would give it a one star.

All the United Clubs are the same.  It's a nice area to get away from the hustle and bustle of the gate and there are several advantages to membership.  The well drinks (alcoholic and non alcoholic) are complimentary and so are the snacks and wifi.  There are plenty of seating areas and work stations complete with ports and electrical sockets for you to use.  

Now, here's the million dollar question. . . is it worth the $50 entry fee? Definitely not.  If you're a Club member, have passes or are an American Express Platinum or Priority Pass member, then yeah, it's a tranquil place to wait for your flight but I wouldn't pay $50 for it.  

And here's a note for Priority Pass members who get their membership from financial institutions such as American Express, you won't be able to get in here or any other United Club anywhere. Traditional Priority Pass members are still allowed entry.  But if you are an American Express Platinum client, just choose United as your airline of choice and your entrance fee will be reimbursed (up to $200).
