Was there yesterday 930am and it was about 40% “full”. Maybe 30 pax there. Breakfast spread was wide (cheese, scrambled eggs, yogurts, cold cuts) but all very cheap looking/tasting. Think Oskar Mayer cold cuts. Lounge itself is really nice and lots of staff running around cleaning, etc.

Because of this discussion, I timed it � 5 minutes from the Yankee Pier in T3 to the lounge elevator entrance. My prior comments were before I realized where the lounge entrance was. For some reason, I thought the entrance was deeper into T2 in the gate area near the Peet�s. Even so, I still think only a minority of domestic UA *G passengers will end up using this lounge, unless if the word gets out. It�s pretty tucked away by the elevator with no prominent signage at concourse level and in a terminal that doesn�t house most of UA�s flights.

I�d agree with the comment above about the food. There was the usual mix of pastries, bread, yoghurt, and questionable fruit. I suppose the hot section had enough to make a breakfast taco, but those eggs looked like they�d been sitting there a while. They had oatmeal in one of those soup vats, but I didn�t take a peek. There were also two Lavazza-type coffee machines (though one didn�t appear to be working), a Coke soda fountain, and a sparkling water fountain.

I�d be more interested to return in the afternoon and evening to see what that service is like, plus the bar.

I would have had enough time to check it out myself last Wednesday, but UA wasn't exactly clear about how long the flight delay would be. I knew the lounge was opened through this thread and I was at the UC Rotunda. The one hour delay ultimately became two and I never bother to walk over to check it out myself. I�ll be back at SFO later this year and i�ll check it out for myself. Thank you for the info.

Thanks. My 4 minute estimate was definitely optimistic.

Maybe we AC people should be trying to spread rumours that the food at the SFO MLL is garbage, so the G's won't bother making the trek.

My UA Gold colleague flying domestic United last night was in luck. He was leaving out of T2. He was impressed.

I�ve now been to the lounge twice (once as a regular pax). It is a really impressive space and the nicest MLL AC has built to date IMHO. There are two murals designed by local SF Bay Area artists, and the lounge was designed by Gensler, who has done SFO�s recent terminal projects.

The real shining star is the outdoor terrace, especially if you�re an AvGeek - it has amazing views of departures from runways 1L/R and good views of arrivals (and some departures) on runways 28L/R (it helps that it�s next to the ATC tower).

AC also plans to use the SFO lounge as �beta test site� for new food and beverage options before rolling out to other lounges in the network, so I would stay tuned for that.

Probably wouldn't use if travelling from the F gates (at least assuming I get to SFO at my normal arrival time about 15-30 minutes before boarding). However, I would be more willing to check it out if departing from the E gates, and there's a fair number of flights from there.

It's not that far of a walk from E, and the UC near the E gates is packed each time I've been there, although perhaps the MLL will alleviate some of the crowding there. The last time I tried that UC, I immediately walked out due to lack of seating and went over to the AS lounge instead. The new MLL is an even shorter walk by a few steps.

Now that this MLL is open, shouldn't this thread be merged with the general MLL lounge thread?

And, I guess, the table in the wiki updated. I'd do it, but not sure if the rest of it is entirely accurate.

I visited the new MLL today; breakfast offering was tortilla wrap DIY with bacon, powdered scrambled egg, and a triangular hash brown.

Everything is nice and shiny, corridor leading into the MLL has the new paint smell (which made me a bit light-headed). Hung out in the terrace, and then some suited person told us it was closing in ten minutes for whatever reason. This was at 7:30 am(!).

A suited person once told me the conference room in YYZ TB was closing because the Prime Minister was coming.

I had a reservation for the room.

I did, in fact, end up in the conference room.

He was just some weird random person in a suit.

I assume this lounge is accessible to one-time guest pass holders?
