Best United Club in SEA?

islackmore · Jan 5, 13, 8:17 am

hey guys, I'm travelling through SEA next weekend and I'm wondering which united club is best. I guess there is on at the B gates and one at the N gates. Does anyone have a preference and why?

I apologize if this was already asked elsewhere.

B has windows (so is bright) but is small and no bathroom inside
N is kind of dungeon-like, but is much larger and has bathrooms

I'd just do whichever is closest to your gate

Yup, that sums it up. B is PMCO, N is PMUA. Of course they are both United Clubs now

I only used the "B" club once. The receptionist was particularly outstanding, but the club is grim. It's small, has no bathrooms, and it was filled with dirty cups and glasses.

The "N" club is windowless, but otherwise quite pleasant. The staff are unerringly friendly, the bathrooms are clean, and it's always been quiet inside.

The only problem is the distance between the two clubs: if you have "B" departure, the "N" gates are a long train ride away.

All of this will change when United moves to a consolidated operation on the other side of the airport, so any problems are temporary.

Some of the nicest, most helpful, most empathetic staff I've ever encountered at any club (and, unlike most who seem to post here, I almost always have good interactions with almost all club staff)

Both clubs are decent.

B is nice with windows, but as others have said, it is VERY small and no bathrooms.

N club is MUCH bigger and more modern looking but NO windows.

Staff at both are decent. I haven't had any problems.

It won't make sense to go out of your way to B if you're at N gates...and vice versa..just too far...

Either club will be sufficient.

The B club is only open until 1:30PM now.

I prefer the N club for the great staff and spacious feel.

Neither club has anything to recommend over the other club.

I did not care for the N club in Seattle because it was really crowded and there were no windows it felt kind of weird

Before morning departures at PDX, I've been using the AS Boardroom for the pancake machine...does the SEA AS Boardroom allow UC members like PDX?

Do tell

UC members get into Boardroom at PDX?

Pretty sure that when CO severed AS codeshares and such is when we lost access to SEA Boardroom. Of course back then it was the Pres Club that got you in.

The only thing I can add to this thread is that the N Club is usually only crowded until the Tokyo departure around 1:00 p.m.unless there are irrops someplace else in the system. The staff at both clubs are good. I agree that you should go to the club closest to your flight gate as it is quite a trek to go between clubs and terminals, even with the train. That being said, the former CO flights to EWR usually depart from the B terminal.

I've been in both clubs once; the staff was great in both of them. As previous posters have mentioned, the B club is really small and the only time I've ever been in a club that didn't have a bathroom. I was there after dark so I never noticed the windows.

A few weeks ago, I was in SEA around 9pm and saw that the B club was already closed with a sign directing people to the N club, even though the united app said that it was open until 12:30am. All the redeye flights were leaving out of N, regardless of destination; the B concourse was deserted. The N club was completely empty that night. I thought it was very nice. It is a little hard to find, even if you know to look for it on the transit level. It's like trying to find the one in SAN.

I would concur...it's about the only time I ever see what I would consider crowded.

Yes, the PDX AS Boardroom currently allows access to UC members...just show your boarding pass and membership card....not sure if it's that way with the other AS Boardrooms.
