Hey, so I have been doing some reading, and I came across this thread. I am thinking about doing the opposite of this thread (TBIT) to United Polaris Lounge. We are checking in with Lufthansa to drop off our bags in TBIT first, and then wanted to go to the United Polaris Lounge.

Are we better off going through the terminals after security in TBIT, or are we better off just clearing security directly in T7 and going land side (outside of the airport)? Then the same question on the way back, land side or inside? I have seen some people saying it takes 30-40m to get between the terminals, so for 1h+ of walk time, probably not worth going to the United Polaris Lounge.

Thanks.
