United opens new Chicago facility

26 Jun 2008

United Airlines will be offering its customers the 'red carpet treatment' at Chicago O'Hare airport this summer.

The carrier announced that the Illinois gateway would be the location for the opening of the first new Red Carpet Club since 2000.

This lounge was designed to meet the recent trend of blending leisure with work and includes power outlets at almost every seat.

There is also a range of food and beverage options, including two serving areas, a bar and two self-service drink stations.

Graham Atkinson, executive vice-president of United Airlines, said: 'Our guests tell us they want to be comfortable and productive when travelling, and United's new Red Carpet Club at O'Hare offers both – more personal space and additional work areas with complimentary Wi-Fi service.

'Whether our guests want to relax or finish a presentation, the Red Carpet Club will now give them more ways to get the most out of their travel experience.'

The lounge is located at O'Hare's Terminal 1, close to gates used by United and its Star Alliance partner Lufthansa. It is available to all international first- and business-class passengers, as well as other customers at a cost of $50 (£25).
