United Club access in Narita with one-time passes
I am fairly new to the Lounge access rules. FYI, I have no status with United or other airlines.
I received one-time passes from United and want to use them in Narita. I am flying award tickets, arriving in Air Canada and departing in Singapore Airlines. Will I be able to use the passes to access United Club in Narita?
I would prefer to use in Singapore, but United website does not show any United Clubs in that airport.
My apologies if this type of question has been answered in another thread. I researched this without any success, and hence posting for help from experienced flyers.

There are pay in lounges at SIN, but it sounds like there is plenty to do for free:

Thank you Sunlover, it seems there is a lot to do. First time transiting through here, but at 3am, let's see if my body wants to explore the airport. I'll be happy if I can catch an hour or two of ZZZs

Are you flying in coach or premium cabin? If you are in first or business, you can use the lounge by showing your boarding card.

Quite a number of 24 hour eateries as well.
Oh, and the transit hotel (airside) is only $35 for 6 hours.

I have Chase-provided United Club one-time passes. I hope to use them at Narita.
On the United Club webpage I looked for information about the Narita United Club (http://www.united.com//web/en-US/con...s/default.aspx). Under "amenities", it indicates that there are not any (e.g. showers, alcoholic drinks). But on a review webpage (http://onethousandsplaces.typepad.co...ort-tokyo.html) the author describes the Narita Club lounge as having showers, drinks, and food.
So, using my one-time passes can I access the Narita United Club lounge (my economy-seat, Japan to U.S. flight, though, will actually be on ANA)? And do they actually have the amenities which the author wrote about (but which the United page does not mention)?

I'd like to chime in with four thoughts:
- The beer machine is fantastic, the showers are nice but please bear in mind the food is more in the way of munchies. The closest thing to real food is a soup tureen at the food station (there's two) closest to the entrance. At least the soup's good (well, I liked it).
- To make full use of the facilities, I reckon you need 90 minutes from jetway to jetway. There's a lot of walking around before you get through the security screening, so that can eat up some 15 minutes. Additionally, if your arrival time is the same as when the UA flights come in, there could be quite a line for the shower. As the other posters have noted, go to the shower attendant; if there's a line she'll give you a pager. I've spent (worse case) 30 minutes waiting for a shower; 15-20 minutes has been pretty typical for me but YMMV.
- Note also that the UC is in the general area of gate 28; ANA tends to have their flights board from gates in the 40's; budget 10-15 minutes walking/travelator time.
- I'm assuming you have no or low status and/or flying economy, but folks who are *Gold can also go to the ANA lounge. The food is better there (I think, anyway). I bring this up because if you make a friend on the flight who happens to be *Gold, perhaps they can guest you in?
