Hi - Not a layover, my trip is originating in SAN. I was wondering since my boarding pass will be from an airline that flies from T2 - is there a way to to get thru security in T1 to utilize the lounge. I've done this with a UA boarding pass when flying from T2 but never with another airline's boarding pass.
Thanks anyway... maybe someone else has done this and will reply.

You know, that is a good question. I have orginated out of T2 on UA. I did visit the T1 United Club before hand ( used my T2 Boarding Pass ). I assume as long as you have a valid BP you should be alright. Just let them know that you are using the club if they question you.. ( however, this is only speculation on my part ) Let us know how it works out. Thanks and Safe Travels

I hope they have a new UC at T2 though (esp with all that construction).

SAN United Club - access when departing from Terminal 2?
Is it possible to access the United Club in SAN - located in Terminal 1 near the legacy UA gates, behind security - when departing from a Terminal 2 legacy CO gate (35/36)? I am uncertain whether security will let you through or whether United can issue a gate pass? Thanks for your help!

Just my opinion, but I don't think the SAN United Club is worth any trouble. It is small with very few windows that are towards the tops of the walls, so you can't look out of them. They also tend to be dirty, as is the rest of the club (torn wallpaper, etc.). You can tell UA isn't putting any effort into the club and that its days are numbered. It is my understanding that a new club will open in the new part of T2 and that the operations are going to consolidate on that side.
You should (or ask for a gate pass if security does not allow you through) -- although when are you traveling? I believe the new Terminal 2 (Green Build) is set to open soon (the estimated completion date is Summer 2013). UA was set to be the primary user of those gates (still don't know if it's the case). If so, I would think they would have a UC club there as well. I guess we will eventually find out.

They never batted an eye, and I ended up with 2 security stamps/signatures after reclearing security the second time.

To clear up some confusion about breaking Security for Terminal 1 & 2!
Gates are located on the upper levels in both Terminal 1 (old UA) & 2 (old COnintental). To be combined in Terminal 2 during the Summer 2013.
The present/old United Club is presently in Terminal 1 and will be moved to Term 2 when the Gates for UA are consolidated in Term 2.
Presently, it is at the top of the escolators after Security in Terminal 1 NEAR the Gates for many UA Flights & Alaskan Air!
Is the walk worth it, that depends if you have enough time for the limited cheese & crackers with some coffee & drinks after the long walk.
Actually, I am interested in seeing the new updated improved Food Court offerings in the expanded Terminal 2 waiting area after the August 2013 Dedication and Opening.
Interesting, the Delta Club is next to the older Continental Gates in Terminal 2, and I was able to stop there for a GQQD cup of Decaf in the past!

Would it be worth the time if your flying WN in T1 with wife and 14 mo old twins to visit the UA Club? Seems this thread is geared towards T2 to T1 accessibility, but thought I'd ask as we'd have to go through security twice from what I've read here.

Don't think it's worth it. Though WN and UA share T1, they're in separate satellites with separate security and no connectors between the two so you'd have to clear security twice. I personally don't mind WN gate areas with the abundance of power outlets.
