Los Angeles: EVA Air has rolled out the red carpet to a luxurious new $5 million VIP lounge in the Tom Bradley International Terminal of Los Angeles International Airport. Available for the comfort and convenience of the airline's Premium Laurel Class and Silver, Gold and Diamond Card frequent-flyer passengers, the 8,000 sq. ft. Los Angeles International Lounge is located on the fourth floor in the north wing of the terminal and can be accessed after passing through security check points. EVA?s Super Business and Super First Class passengers are also entitled to lounge access. Gold and Diamond Card members of EVA's Evergreen Club frequent flyer program can bring one guest into the lounge. In addition, Evergreen Club members at these levels and Silver Card members can redeem 5,000 mileage points for one guest or family member. The spacious lounge has 186 seats, Wi-Fi and a business center equipped with individual work stations that have laptop hook-ups and telephones plus photocopier and facsimile services. It has its own lavatories for guests and showers. And one section can be partitioned to give dignitaries or celebrities privacy. Waiting to board one of EVA's 17 weekly flights to Asia or in transit, passengers can relax and enjoy delicious ethnic and local foods, including sushi, sandwiches, fresh fruit and favorite snacks. In addition to juices, gourmet coffee, tea and soft drinks, the lounge also has a full bar. And, along with multiple flat-screen, high-definition televisions, it is fully stocked with newspapers and magazines in several languages. The new facility is one of four mega lounges financed by the airlines themselves and designed to give travelers as much as 72 percent more space than those previously operated by individual carriers.
