Upgrades vs lounge access as an UA elite benefit?
I have always been curious on others opinions on lounge access vs upgrades. In Europe they don’t give out any complimentary upgrades but do give out some upgrade carts. However they prioritize lounge access giving mid tier elites and above access to business class and first class lounges or better for them and a guest. So would you rather have lounge access so golds and platinums got United club access on every flight for them and a guest but no CPUs. Furthermore 1ks and global services getting access to the Polaris lounges on every flights for them and a guest but no CPUs and fewer plus points. Silvers still get nothing😀.
