Yeah, the 6 hour rule doesn’t make sense. EWR-LHR is often under 6 hours and there’s no way you aren’t getting Polaris lounge on that route. I think the rule will be United Polaris OR partner flights in business over 6 hours. I don’t think the 6 hour rule will apply to UA flights.

EWR was not promised a Polaris lounge at launch, ORD was the only one planned to be ready by December 1. Additionally, EWRLHR is never blocked at less than six hours, so that 6h cutoff is moot.
