Great question. I'd have to do a bit more research, but funny enough, the original main entrance to the upper level of the terminal (including the main lobby with the famous flight display board) was in just about the same location, but maybe a few (hundred?) feet towards today's parking garage. Visitors parked in the main lot and entered the upper level/main entrance, while those checking in for flights and claiming bags did so on the lower level to the northern end of today's terminal complex. The "south terminal," everything to to south of the Central checkpoint was all new build on both levels.

UA CLE is also recalling some long furloughed employees, returning to "full" Global Services in the lobby and increasing the number of agents in the Club which tells me that UA is seeing a sustained volume of high(er) value business (I personally never thought they'd go back to staffing the inside counter in the club for example and there was one of the awesome agents greeting me at 6 AM this morning in addition to the two at the credential desk

I was in there a few months ago, and it had a moderate crowd. They had just brought out some pierogies with sauteed onions; seemed like a nice, almost local. unique food addition. One of the things I always like about the Cleveland club is that the staff are quite friendly.
(Seriously -- I miss the soft pretzels+gas station cheese the club had when it first reopened after Covid and the hot dogs the ORD UCs had)

The CLE UC's F&B manager is awesome and full of hospitality -- to the point where she's, somewhat frequently it seems, TDY-ed to other outstation clubs to work on things. I have an unsophisticated palate and my biggest complaint is that the food is getting too fancy for us simpletons

Also, I remember the soft pretzels and just realized I haven't seen them in a LONG time. How does the United Club compare to "The Club CLE" as far as size/food offerings? I'm just curious... I've never been there.

First off, awesome use of the acronym "TDY" with regards to the staff.

Wish the UC would up their breakfast game - the powdered eggs and dry tasteless turkey sausages need to go. The UC had some weird lumpy smashed potato/sausage concoction for breakfast a couple weeks ago, not good.

A few newer things at CLE.
A SIM card vending machine outside of security-very helpful for foreign visitors.
Interesting Metroparks displays around carrousel 3.

Hopeful that UA does expand at CLE?!?
A spokesperson for United said the routes were seasonal, with an expected end date of May 20. “While both routes are spring break seasonals, they do represent our eagerness to grow our CLE non-stop portfolio,” she said.

United continues to do very well on Florida routes FLL and MCO are year round adding additional FLL flight for the season added TPA back flies to RSW. United started flying Florida routes in the mid 1960’s Sunbird service. Florida service ended with the first hub closure on 1986 CO service with the development of its hub.
With the second hub closure stayed in the market mostly seasonal but now it’s growing year round. UA tried adding Florida direct service from several cities
LGA, BOS, IND, MKE but only lasted a year.
My thought UA should establish a mini hub here to feed Florida from cities like BUF, ROC, YYZ, GRR. Maybe EYW seasonal. Just my thoughts.
