If I was UA, I'd lose the Arrivals Lounges and put in a few more IFLs with shower facilities that can be used by both arriving and departing passengers.
Does anyone think UA should maintain separate Arrivals Lounges outside of customs and security?
I really like having the Arrivals Lounges (and shower facilitates in the Senator Lounges). I am generally connecting and its nice to shower after a long overnight flight. Even when in London and not connecting it's generally a lot faster to shower and change at the airport rather than go to the hotel and meetings. Most of my trips to London are day long (come in early am leave next morning) so a few extra hours at the hotel is a waste.
