United Club

United Club is the airport lounge associated with United Airlines and its regional affiliates.

United operates fifty lounges at 45 major airports in six countries, with the vast majority being in the United States.^[1] United Clubs feature complimentary beverages, breakfast and afternoon snacks, complimentary Wi-Fi, power outlets, newspapers, and magazines. Lounges at some airports with international services provide shower facilities.^[2] Customers can access United Clubs by traveling in United Business (international and p.s. routes), United Polaris Business, and first or business class on Star Alliance carriers.^[3] United Star Alliance Gold members can access United Clubs when traveling on international itineraries and Star Alliance Gold members from other carriers can access United Clubs on any itinerary.^[4] United Club members, United Club Card holders, and United one-time pass holders (based on capacity constraints) also have access to United Clubs on any itinerary. Lastly, active military personnel, Air Canada Maple Leaf Club members, and Virgin Australia Gold, Platinum, and VIP Velocity Frequent Flyers (traveling on international itineraries) may access United Clubs.^[5]

Prior to the 2010 merger with Continental Airlines, United's lounges were known as the Red Carpet Club and Continental's lounges were known as Presidents Club.^[6] On October 1, 2011, United phased out the "Red Carpet Club" and "Presidents Club" names. Lifetime memberships that were previously available for purchase from the Presidents Club were converted to the United Club.^[7]
