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.

That is exactly why I bought my United Club membership, because I correctly anticipated earning Star Alliance (*A) Gold (*G) during fewer than five years, so far.
Using the *A Lounge-Finder link at Post # 270, it indicates that the *A Lounge at LAX TBIT (Tom Bradley Int'l Terminal) is indeed open to United Club members. 🙂
Perhaps good reason for me to connect at LAX vice SFO when visiting the U.S. mainland.

Question about Access to maple leaf lounges
wonder if anyone can help w non us access for a lowly *A Silver (but I am a UC lounge member via credit card):
Travelling thru Montreal w a 4 hr layover to LIS on a non biz ticket and don’t know if I will have to pay for access @ YUL
same question for YYZ on return
Sadly, Covid has taken away any status I might have had
Prolly won’t regain till next year.
Do I have to pay to get into AC lounges on a Premier+ level revenue ticket?

The Signature Lounge is closed indefinitely - so it also depends on when you're traveling, aside from the ticket booking class that you have. I don't believe a UA award ticket will get you in regardless unless it has the same booking code as a full-mile flexible AC award.
