I visited the new FLL club today for about 20 minutes before boarding my flight. When coming down the escalators to the C gates, go LEFT (not to the right, which is what the old sign saying 'Airline Club' still says). The new UC is a vast improvement over the old one, although it doesn't have any natural light (I think the old club had some windows facing the gates - been a really long time). The one tricky thing is that the food is in a separate room that you turn to the right, before the bar shown in the above post. I missed that initially, and given I was dead tired, I didn't bother retracing. The main area has an assortment of the new-style chairs you would find in the revamped Terminal A club at EWR or the B clubs in ORD - on balance a better experience and definitely more access to power outlets. I didn't check out the bathrooms, but I have to assume it's got to be better than the dreadful situation in the old club (which was a single bathroom for everyone, IIRC).
Overall, definitely a step up from the old club and the temporary club, and worth the tradeoff of not having any window views. YMMV. |
In the FLL Club now. They've fixed the 'Airline Club' direction arrow at the bottom of the C escalators.
Club is quiet today and lots of staff (too many?) cleaning and assisting. The food area is off to the right as you walk in, turn just before the bar. I missed that initially too (as noted above). Coke machine is currently broken. Overall the club is nice; no views but it reminds me of a windowless EWR Terminal A UC... |
FLL United Club
Anybody have experience using the United Club in Ft. Lauderdale? Flying AC metal back to YYZ, lounge is in T1, flight departs from T2. Will I be able to access the lounge? And if allowed, is the extra time required worthwhile? Some newer UC's are worth a visit, although most are mediocre in my experience.

No problem at all- just that you need to clear Security in T1 and then again in T2 for AC flight. I had TSA-PRE so it was quick. About a 5-10 minute walk. It is a newer UA so we thought it was worth the effort. |
I concur.
It's about 10 mins walk from AC counter to the lounge including security (if you have pre-check). Very quiet lounge and plenty of seating. Food is typical United Club offering at dinner time. Well worth the walk. |
