FAQ
Q: Where is the lounge?
A: Terminal 3, F concourse, right by Gate F2 (formerly gate 75) and the F-1 security checkpoint (that has PreCheck, sometimes).

Q: Can I visit there if I'm departing from another terminal?
A: Absolutely. Security at SFO will let passengers departing from any concourse at SFO go through security in any concourse, even ones that aren't connected behind security. At the moment, Terminal 3 concourses E and F, and International Terminal concourse G are connected airside to the Centurion lounge. Some other concourses are connected to each other airside, but not to the point that you can walk airside to the Centurion. However, with a PreCheck security lane right next to the entrance to the lounge, it can be quite easy to clear security twice if necessary.

Q: Can I visit if I'm arriving at SFO?
A: It depends. If you're arriving in the aforementioned concourses E, F, or G, then yes, but only if you have a connecting flight. If you're arriving in one of the other concourses, then security at SFO won't let you clear into E, F, or G without a boarding pass departing SFO that day. If you're arriving internationally, again, you'd need a same-day SFO departing boarding pass to clear security.

LGA gifts were identical to DFW gifts.

I probably won't see this until January. Enjoy it, folks, and please report back on the experience.

Buy a one way refundable ticket to LA on UA for Thursday at noon, cancel it after you get into the Centurion.

cancel after you have checked in? I guess it's just a domestic flight but....

If you do this, pick a flight with a departure time several hours after when you'll cancel the reservation. That would make it very unlikely that you would be preventing a sale of a seat on the flight.

Not an unheard of occurrence. There are plenty of reasons someone's travel plans could change after they've already cleared security and are on their way to the gate.

I've been at the airport on the way home from one client and had another call and ask me to be there the next day. Quick call to uncheck and cancel the current flight, book a new one, and off I go. Get my new BP either on my phone or at the new gate.

When Does Centurion Lounge SFO Open? - One Mile at a Time
http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.c...unge-sfo-open/
Lucky has updated with a new post late last week:
http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.c...vember-6-2014/

Hours seem to be 5:00-23:00 with an event at 9:30 on the 6th

Looks like it'll be open for me to connect through SFO on UA up to 4 times in the next three months
