Dose JFK-SFO business p.s have lounge access?
Wondering if they offer free access for business p.s. Some reports showed they got into the lounge and some others said the access only for first p.s. not sure. Thanks!

After - it's a whopping 1 min walk max from any of the gates there. T7 is perfect IMO.

I'm flying SFO-JFK on ps tomorrow. Was upgraded to Business (RPU). May I use the Club in SFO?
May I bring in my assistant who is on an Economy ticket?

Yes on you going in - I don't know about your assistant. I'm guessing no, but worth a shot.

That may be the published rule but at JFK I have never been denied access after arriving. You do have to ask nicely though

Except for the set up of the check-in counters and the security checkpoint. It can be a clustery mess when people lining up to check in for BA/CX/etc and people waiting in line to have their ID checked.

Once past that part, it is pretty decent.

by the time I get into JFK its Closed, I tried it @ both SFO and LAX, SFO flat denied, every time. Ive stopped trying

LAX depends on who is sitting at the desk but % is against me

Yes for using United Club in SFO. No on bringing guests. Although, if you're nice enough, you can pay for a $50 pass for him/her.

Although if the OP is Premier Gold or better, one guest is allowed, am I right? This is definitely the case for international flights on UA or *A carriers. Not sure about PS flights.

This is a domestic flight, not intl. P.s. provides a specific benefit for this specific domestic route. They will sell a pass.
