SFO/LAX (west), IAH (south), EWR/IAD (east), ORD (combo) are the PL gateways.
I actually flew LHR-DEN-SAN earlier this month, mainly because the 2.50pm departure out of LHR suited my travel plans. It was tough waiting in DEN with no shower facilities (well tough for the people sitting next to me on my next flight as I hustle through airports to get some cardio). The food in the UC was okay but no substitute for a PL loinge and with no meal service out of DEN to SAN not a great end to my journey. My next TATL flight is back through SFO so good for the lounge and my next flight from LHR I am tempting fate by flying through EWR 🤦♀️. I do find the support staff at DEN wonderful to deal with but try to use IAH rather than DEN for the hub when flying domestically.
United needs a PL in DEN now that there is no meal service for most flights out of DEN.
