United Airlines opened a new United Club this month at Fort Lauderdale‑Hollywood International Airport. The 5,000‑square‑foot lounge is the first of four planned United Club openings for 2019 and offers a comfortable space for travelers to relax before their flights.
Additional United Club locations are scheduled to open soon at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Raleigh‑Durham International Airport. Each club will provide complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi, dedicated wellness rooms and locally curated food and beverage selections designed to reflect the character of each city. The New Orleans location is set to open this summer, while the LaGuardia lounge will debut when United moves into Terminal B.
“United Clubs are the perfect spot for our customers to relax and recharge and we are excited to open the first of four new United Clubs this year,” said Toby Enqvist, United’s chief customer officer. He noted that the company’s multimillion‑dollar investment in United Clubs is one of several initiatives aimed at improving the overall customer experience.
The new Fort Lauderdale lounge emphasizes comfort and convenience, with ample seating, charging stations and quiet areas for work or rest. The inclusion of wellness rooms responds to growing demand for private spaces to freshen up or decompress between flights. Curated local dining options give travelers a taste of the region while maintaining reliable, high‑quality offerings.
United’s expansion of its Club network reflects a broader focus on airport amenities and passenger experience. By adding lounges in strategic markets, the airline aims to provide consistent services for frequent flyers, premium cabin customers and eligible members, while showcasing local flavors and thoughtful design in each space.
Travelers flying through Fort Lauderdale, New Orleans, LaGuardia and Raleigh‑Durham can expect upgraded lounge access and amenities as these new United Clubs open. The additions are part of United’s ongoing efforts to enhance comfort, convenience and service for its customers across its route network.
