Facts, opinions, and observations, all welcome!
Depends very much on the club, I would say.
United carries 142,000,000 (non-unique) pax /year.
How many of those individual journeys are 'elite' journeys (by status or cabin) A quarter?
so that's 35,500,000 elite journeys a year.
How many of them are lounge members? intl F, *G intl, etc? A quarter of those?
That's 8,875,000 eligible journeys / year.
Let's say all of those involve a trip to the club (very crude approximation)
Then that's is ~25k visits a day, spread over ~50 clubs.
That makes 500 unique visits a day / club.
Obviously a big international hub with a club (EWR C gates?) will be more, and smaller club (MCO?) less.
NOW - **PLEASE DON'T TRASH MY NUMBERS TOO HARD** - could be way off, but the question was pretty vague, and I am very much pulling numbers out of my a$$.
