UA 1K on business denied Presidents lounge access
Hi there,
quick question for those how know: I recently flew domestic CO on a business seat (upgraded) and I am a UA 1K. Tried to access the CO lounge but was denied access.
What is required in order to get access to a CO lounge?

PClub access is granted only on fares that are marketed as BusinessFirst, which is mainly international routes. The upgraded seat you got as a 1K was domestic First class (no C or J on domestic routes) and thus not eligible for club access.

Without knowing the route the OP was on it is impossible to know if the agent was correct in refusing access or not. But, generally speaking, the CO policies are rather similar to UA's for access as a non-member in premium cabin seats. The main difference is that p.s. C/F get access while CO transcon F does not.

A CO Plat flying upgraded domestic C/F would have the same result trying to get into a RCC (PS flights excepted)

Only on "transcons" which on DL are loosely defined. EWR-DEN qualifies, IIRC.
AS is the only one I can think of that gives you lounge access with a paid F ticket, regardless of market.

Correctly you were denied access to the President's club.

I believe DL does this only on transcon fares out of JFK, being DEN, LAS, LAX, SNA, PDX, PHX, SAN, SEA, and SFO according to this page.

Through UA, I get into the Redcarpet lounge and thought that I would have the same privilege on CO (this just happened recently at LAX).
