United unveils new lounge concept

United Airlines has unveiled its new United Club lounge in Terminal 2 at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the first to feature a new design prototype that the airline will use when building and renovating lounges worldwide. The 13,300 square foot United Club features a completely redesigned interior reflecting elements of flight and travel. United has outfitted the club with an expansive bar and lounge area, dynamic lighting, redesigned furniture and additional workstations and power outlets – all designed to enable customers to relax or work with greater ease and comfort. As with all United Club lounges, members have access to complimentary snacks, beverages and WiFi. United will spend more than $50 million this year to renovate several of its 51 United Club locations. (http://www.united.com)
