Anyone can guest in Austin, Dec 14 2:40pm?
On wiki, but figured I'll give this a bump.
Thanks!
Thanks!

First time someone has taken advantage of one of my offers in years that's for sure. But hey, I got a free drink out of it thanks to Seat1A so I'm glad I posted

yeah, I bought you one, and I had, umm, several house beverages on your membership while watching the pats hang on. Win win win scenario there!

Added a few additional ORD and BOS guest opportunities in January. Cheers!
It's been years since I've flown into PBI versus MIA. Didn't realize the lounge situation there was so dire (no UA C, no AA AC, and no AMEX). I've got a DL SC membership, but of course, it's in the other terminal.

I've been guested in exactly once since I've started posting on this thread over 5 years ago. I've also offered to guest people in (when I had the ability to so) and never connected with anyone. I think it's actually more difficult than we think because of how many hours there are in the day, how long people stay at the club, and how many United Clubs there are. It also depends on the day of travel. I tend to travel on weekends, and most people who are able to offer are business travelers who tend to travel on weekdays.

I've been on both sides on this thread before, but it had been a few years. In the late 2000's I'd expect a couple of hits per year.
I think airports have just gotten better, and I usually don't care if I have club access for a 60-90 minute layover. (Which is also why I'm on the "need access" side lately.)

I've recently started flying with UA again and have done my best to provide invites to maximize the value of paid club membership. I realize that BOS might not be the most popular origin or destination, but certainly hope to meet a few FTers over the holidays at the hubs in IAH and ORD. For better or worse, I have about 20 segments on UA alone over the next thirty days

The problem is a forum system like this is terrible for trying to meet people to guest. I would think a calendar system would be much better.
