Your Gold status is with M&M, but you're flying UA: Benefits?
I asked this question months ago in the UA forum and got no reply, presumably because they all have status through MileagePlus. If you are a LHG SEN, what benefits are available on UA aside from UnitedClub access? I'm curious about USA domestic flights as well as TATL. Thanks!

Boarding with Group 1. But Group 1 isn't really Group 1. Otherwise nothing.

From my experience, priority in WL. Understand it is after their own elites but still something.

The better seating zone? There are definitely extra benefits compared to A3 or TK. The same as NH get.

You can ask at the gate for a better seat and more often than not you'll end up with a E+ seat.

Club access on eco flights definitely the biggest advantage from my point of view!

Yes. I wanted to express in terms of seat reservation *G does not give you any advantage.
Seat reservation is free for everybody in Y with the exception of Basic Economy, where everyone - also *G - has to pay.
