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.

Update: At LAX no one would let me in with the Apple Wallet version without the *A logo. Luckily I took a screenshot with an android phone and saved a copy on my iPhone. They let me in right away.
so for all you iOS users....save a copy from an android with the *A logo.

*A Lounge Question
*Mods please move if in wrong place*
So I am a paid UC Lounge member as well as *A Gold. I am flying a non Star Alliance carrier out of JFK Term 1 tomorrow. I have PriorityPass but the time I'm going to be there is out of the allowed windows for PP holders. With that said, can I visit a *A lounge with my United Club lounge card that shows i'm *A Gold?

Use of Air Canada lounge (MLL) as a United Club member
I'm a United Club member and am flying tomorrow on an Air Canada flight to Canada in economy class. Does the United Club membership mean I can access the Air Canada lounge? Any help appreciated.

There are only a handful of MLLs in the US - LAX, EWR and LGA are the ones I know of, not sure if there are any others.
If you’re asking about upon arrival in Canada, while your club membership will get you in if you can access the departures area where the MLL is, if arriving from the US or another international destination, you’ll clear customs and unless you are connecting, you won’t have access to the departure area.

what route are you flying - is it US to Canada?

The loungebuddy app will show what you have access to once you input your status, CCs, flight info and the like.

going to Victoria BC... so I assume based on what you're saying, I should be allowed in with my United Club card?
