Sounds promising. The company that operates the lounge (Sodexo) has a handful of positions posted for the lounge. I wouldn't be surprised if they are open within a month or 2 if you figure a couple weeks to hire/onboard and another couple weeks to train.

operating hours ?
I took a peak into the lounge from the elevator entrace but did not venture into the club as it was vacant and didn't want to be cited for possible trespassing.
From the elevator entrance, I did notice this sign with the posted hours of the club- Daily Hours: 05:00 am to 10:00 pm.
Here hoping the club opens real real soon.

Anybody heard any new rumblings about the opening date for the CL in DEN? Have trips planned through there in January and February.

I'm headed to DEN to go skiing, so I'm headed there regardless. DEN was pushed back from 2020 to 2021 but no hard dates were given. From what I saw on my last trip in December it looked like they were getting closer.

Yes. Most of the airports I visit will now have CLs, except for MSY. Pretty hard to justify a $450 UC card (chase) just to visit one lounge. I might wait to see how crowded it gets, but with COVID stuff, that might not be a concern before 2022. On the other hand, this might get UA to improve its services.

Except that the UC's are on the B concourse. So if you are short on time or connecting, the UC may be way more reasonable than train transfers to/from the C concourse and then the walk to the CL. I estimate that it's about 10 minutes each way, which includes 4 escalator rides, the wait for the train, ride time, and whatever walking is needed. So if originating in DEN, the penalty is probably only one 10 minute transfer (or if you happen to have an A-B transfer and a long layover). But if connecting within the B concourse and not on a really long connecting time, it's unlikely to be warranted or feasible to go over to the C concourse.

Im debating whether it is worth it to get a Platinum card. Most of my connections are right around an hour, so this doesn稚 really make too much sense for me. However, United is cutting back flights on my normal routes so my connections may become longer.
I really wish DEN still had a Priority Pass option.

Literally just timed this yesterday from a DEN UC to the Amex lounge in C. It was just under 12 minutes for me, so say 15 to call it safe if using a more leisurely walk.

I知 still mulling over the value proposition of the Platinum. Until they announce what the replacement for the $200 airline fee credit is, I知 holding off. I think I値l wait to see how long the wait is to get into to the DEN CL as well 😁

Id say for the most part yes, but I usually find myself with at least one three hour layover a month there. And like I said, that値l probably be increasing with the United February schedule update.
