Family access is not valid for partner lounges
Physical members card is required for entry (appears UA is saying virtual, app card is sufficient for *A lounges)
Lounge Information - Star Alliance - Star Alliance
Search using
United Club for Paid Membership under the dropdown list, for airport specific lounges that gives you access.
What if I am also a *G?
You can enter a partner lounge as *G (Star Alliance Gold) or as a UC Member but not as both. You will be limited to +1 guest even if *G and also UC/ML membership, Benefits do not stack.
In the case of those partners with a *G lounge and a Business lounge (Such as LH), your *G status will get you into the better *G lounge while the UC membership provides access to just the Business Lounge.

5. Star Alliance Member Carriers' Paid Lounge Membership customers on ANA and/or Star Alliance member carrier operated flights and one accompanying guest per customer.
A UC membership is a lot of money to spend and then be denied by an airline MOLA.

SilverKris Access at SIN Question
I've got upcoming flight to SIN (NRT-SIN) then quick turn the same day arrival/departure in am (SIN-NRT).
I'm arriving BF (GPU upgrade) on NRT-SIN (UA flight). Currently I'm waitlisted SIN-NRT (UA flight) in Y.
I've got the United Club card but this does not apply to the SilverKris lounges to my knowledge.
Will I be able to get into the SilverKris Lounge with BF arrival even if my departure is waitlisted BF (i.e. my boarding pass would show Economy, if I printed it before arrival)? I believe this is the T3 arrival/departure.
Thanks for any help!

UC members who fly on a *A flight can use the TG Royal Silk lounge. I never tried it; I go where UA directs me.
All this info is available from united.com as the launch point.

SilverKris at SIN doing same day turn?
Non UC members who are UA pax are directed to use the SATS contract lounge at SIN. That applies to BF, and Premier Gold and higher. Your 1K status will get you into the contract lounge when you depart, but you will require a lounge invitation from the check in desk.
UC members who fly on a *A flight can use the TG Royal Silk lounge. I never tried it; I go where UA directs me.

Now I don't always go where I'm told , I go where I'm allowed ^. Because as we all know - negotiating the "rules" is hazardous at best.
But what I'm not entirely sure of above is when arriving BF (and not leaving airside) can I get access. If I clear the SIN-NRT to BF I will have the BP (if it's not done at the gate).
Anybody's experience on this?

I've been in numerous SEN lounges and a few Business lounges. As far as I can tell, at least in Germany they are the same except SEN tends to be less crowded. An I missing something? Also in IAD the showers are in the Business lounge, not the SEN lounge.

Any recent updates to accessing clubs around Asia with just a United Club membership but not *G status? Per the Star Alliance website this should just require a same-day *A boarding pass but for example the new ANA website does not seem to acknowledge any paid membership programs besides their own which isn't all that surprising since the only two paid memberships are the UC and the Maple Leaf Lounge memberships:

Also any recent experiences for the HKG SilverKris/Thai or TPE Eva lounges?

I'm UA *G. My wife is usually *S with UC. Neither has problems guesting the other into lounges. Aside from LH, they both seem the same.
