To be fair I often travel with odd size baggage so I have to get it from the special luggage area and that is always last.
I don't check a bag on a normal flight, although in this case I had started the day in SYD and flown three segments to MSP, so I wanted a nice not-plane-water coffee
and I had a bag to wait for.
I am not a UC member, so my Club time is limited to overseas or p.s. travel. It doesn't really bother me much since they're pretty disappointing compared to basically any other lounge, and the whole reason I'm loyal to United is so I can fly nonstop anyway
