Both the c74 and pop up clubs look open. But at capacity - for the first time, couldn’t even get into c74. (It’s one in one out). I could have waited but it’s bad enough finding a seat during normal busy periods. Went to the pop up instead - no Polaris premium drinks for me.
They really need to do something about the Polaris lounge.

They wont open the existing A club and they limit the pop-up to only afternoon hours.
They don't care enough to try and improve the experience.

I like that idea. The PL is also more convenient for the C101-138 gates.
Edit: Looping up a section for Polaris passengers with better amenities should kill two birds with one stone.

At main EWR UC - completely full, with people standing. The back section is still closed off. Second picture is a peek behind the curtain. Didn't see anyone working in there - they could have opened part of it for some of the overflow crowd.

How many are upgrades / awards / NRSA / ....
A full cabin is never a guarantee of strong revenues / profits.
Reports are, for the airline industry. international ticket prices (unfortunately not separate by cabin) are down 40-50% and the volume of tickets are down a similar 40-50%, so international revenues are down 60-70%
So such significantly lower revenues do not support the expense for a small group of passengers, yet. What that point is I don't know and all projections are leisure travel is going to cut back in September and business, once hoped to return in September, is probably still 2-3-4 months out if then.

Keep in mind that lots of UAX flights are still using Terminal C. UA gave up a few gates at A-2 which are now being used by JetBlue.

Yes, that's correct.
Another trip thru Terminal A for me today. At this point, can United update their info for the Terminal A club from "Temporarily Closed" to "We don't care about Newark passengers" ?
