UA has major facilities capex in DEN this year not only for the massive B West United Club that remains under construction, but also for gate area renovations and other projects. Once all that is in the rearview, a PL becomes more realistic.
Re: AMS pre-COVID, I understand UA was planning on a 2nd daily EWR flight and a possible DEN seasonal 787 flight. But, the ongoing battle over Schiphol capacity means UA isn't likely to be adding there any time soon. My darkhorse pick for a new DEN TATL is a seasonal FCO when/if the ITA/LHG transaction goes forward. If not FCO, then perhaps CDG.
As I suggested a year ago, turning the A UC into a PL after the second B UC is complete and open does make some sense. Might be a bit large, but they could close off part if not needed. This would work if United moved all Polaris departures to A instead of the here today, there tomorrow approach they have now.
This idea was not well received a year ago….but I’m still not convinced the A gates really need a UC when two clubs are finally open in B. A simple grab and go or some such might really be enough for A.

UA isn't yet moved in to all of the ~25 A gates it will eventually have. Once 100% operational, the A Club will no doubt be much busier. I enjoy the solitude for now!
