I don't imagine I'll have time for a lounge visit (I'm UA*G). In any case, is there security check for bag screening and/or passport control? Or potentially a long walk?
You wouldn't clear security as you would be arriving from the USA, nor passport control. You might have time for a brief hop to the lounge, however, depending on your arrival and departure gates which are assigned randomly, you might need to walk about 20-25 minutes maximum ( usually much shorter though ).
