ICN lounge day pass?
Tried searching but could not find specific answer,
Family of four traveling United ICN-SFO, two in business, two in economy
For two in C, access to OZ biz lounge but is it possible to purchase lounge access for other two?
Thanks

My understanding is that business class lounge access entitles entry for you and one other guest. As you have 2 flying business, the other 2 flying economy can go in together with you.

But one other avenue is your UA 2P, which is a *A gold (is that right?). If so, that entitles you to automatic access to the lounge with one extra guest. So that covers the two passengers on C and one on Y. Now the Asiana website mentions you can get access for 3,000 miles, but is only available for Asiana flights.

I do hope you make it work---the OZ lounge in ICN is perhaps my favorite *A club.

UA 2P is premier silver, which is *A silver.
Only UA GS, 1K, Plat, Gold are *A gold.
