So the most important question for me as a frequent UA flyer: will UA remain its current rules regarding lounge access to adapt CO's?

Sorry if that question is dumb.
CO only has one type of lounge.

I don't think any of us on here know the current answer to that question. I would think part of the answer depends on how the new United wants P.S. service to continue.

As a 1K you would not have access to the RCC on a similar itinerary (call it LAX-ORD-MIA in F). The CO and UA policies are near identical for domestic travel, with the one exception I previously identified regarding p.s. service.

As the only difference between the two is p.s. service-related, I would imaging that the answer will be predicated on whether p.s. sticks around or not.

Correct when flying on an economy ticket; on upgraded business however, I always get access to the RCC on domestic flights.

No you do not, unless it is on a p.s. flight.

No disrespect here but I do.

Showing my ticket + card and receiving a T-Mobile WIFI card, two drink coupons and access to RCC in return.

It happened quite too often to be a mistake by the front desk.

Dont forget: only if I am flying business (upgraded economy ticket).

So, you are saying that this is an error by UA and I shouldnt get access to the RCC?

Just to clarify: this is on UA not on CO.

Just to clarify you do not have a paid RCC membership and you're getting in SOLEY with your 1K membership and DOMESTIC F boarding pass (with no onward INTL flight)??

Correct on all counts.

This has worked for me very, very often. Dont get me wrong, I am not complaining but I find it too frequent to be a 'mistake'.

Sorry, just being sarcastic but I am not sure if you are joking or not here.

No, the UA/MP account is US based.
