You're a 1K (*G) on UA, so you don't need to be there at 0555. You can use the 1K lines and you should be done in a couple of mins. I'd say 0630 would be fine. If you want to go to the lounge for breakfast after checking-in, then 0615 would also be ok. Plane leaves at 0755. The departure gate (invariably 249 or 247) is a good 10-12 min walk from the *A lounge so back-time from there.
