When I presented myself at the Chairman's Club during the three hour layover in PHX, I was denied entry. I was informed that UA flyers were admitted only if they a) were RCC cardholders; or b) flew the international segment of their trip on US metal. According to the Chairman's Club dragon, this rule only applied to UA flyers and not to other card-carrying *A humans.
Could this possibly be true?
My understanding is that it is
UA flyers (or any flyer for that matter) were admitted only if they a) were RCC cardholders and flying US metal, though there have been reports of this requirement being waived.
Anyway, since there is an RCC in PHX, if you complain to UA, they'll probably tell you that the RCC is the designated *A lounge for UA flyers. That is likely why Chairman's Club denied you.
