I stop after landing all the time to get through incremental e-mails before starting logistics to meetings or my hotel. At LAX last week the agent saw my boarding pass and said "thank you for being Global, how was your flight in?". I've never even run into a confused agent who tried to turn me away or anything.

Just to jump on the band wagon: Up until the COVID forced closure of the CLE Club I would virtually always stop by on both ends of a trip both to get the scan to keep the census high and also occasionally to chat with friendly agents grab a snack before I hit the car whatever. It's possible if you don't have a club membership it might be a departure only-experience but even that I don't think is accurate

Posting from C16 club after landing from TPA today. They have bags of food to go or take back to your seat: chips, apple, cookie, and a greek salad. Same limited bar service (no bar seating) and a soda machine. Not crowded at 6:30pm on Tuesday.

Five minutes ago per the agent at the B6 club "B18 is going to open any day and F club will open soon, in June." Won't come soon enough!
Edited to add: Another agent clarified they have heard the F club will open by the end of June.

ORD B6 absolutely packed this AM by 8AM. More of a 50/50 mix between the Mexico vacation set and business travelers (judging by attire and laptop/work time versus mimosas). Basically every chair/table was occupied by the time I left at 8:15. They really need to get B18 and F open.

Went by the C16 UC yesterday. As mentioned above there's only beer and wine at the bar. Thankfully they have coffee and a Coke Free Style Machine. Food is really pathetic unless you like packaged snacks. I would have loved it as a kid what with the Doritos and Teddy Grahams.
Still glad it's open but wow did they do it on the cheap.

But that's still better than schlepping over to B.

That said, its nice to have it open again. I've been back on the road since med February after my 1 yr long Covid induced break. It was getting really old having to walk over the B lounge since all my flights had either an arrival or departure in C.
Logic would say don't bother to do that walk, but the gene I have making me want to maximize my value before my UC membership expires, and won't be renewed likely, at the end of June had me making the hike.
