I basically never go near a 1K room, as they never looked or felt too welcoming IMO. I realise they are not meant to be a de facto RCC (no-one would strive for that low a target!) but all the same you gotta wonder why they are not a LOT more upmarket?

They are ONLY accessbie to UNITED'S top flyers. Not BD or SQ or NZ or TG etc Gold or Plats or Zirconiums who often fill up the RCCs, but UNITED'S top passengers, and are mostly located in dedicated UNITED concourses.

Maybe I am alone here, but even dreaming of finding a complete newspaper in the afternoon at any RCC is a forlorn hope. If 1K rooms lashed out and spent some pocket change on a small stack of "USA Today" or 'W.S.J.' etc that were topped up until they closed it would be a nice start.
