From UC T&Cs
Note: Most/All of the Polaris lounges have a sleeping / day bed area
Sleeping is prohibited in all United Club locations.
The Polaris Lounge at ORD and SFO each have four sleeping cubicles (near the restroom at ORD, near the showers at SFO). Feel free to nod off there.
The GFL at LHR has a section with around a half-dozen lie-flattish platform where you can doze too. Not really too private.

Is sleeping allowed at any United {Club} lounges?

Or, if one does enjoy a few minutes of walking, rent from Midway, two buildings East of the Concourse (soon to be Hyatt) Hotel on Century Blvd. Great fleet & reasonable rates. No need to wait for a shuttle. Always had good experience with them.

Based on my experience this morning, not sure TBIT is a viable option right now. They're doing major construction (again!) and one of the two security areas is completely shut down. So they've basically cut the security capacity by 50%. I walked over at about 8:45 a.m. today and the security line was crazy long. Turned right around and walked back to T7.

Here's a dumb, but necessary question...I just landed at LAX in Terminal 7. My departure flight is at midnight from Terminal 7 (LAX-EWR...I'm doing a mileage run). Even as *A gold, and having a united club pass, I won't be able to access the *A lounge, will I? I don't think I can get through security there since I'm not leaving from that terminal, and since I'm flying domestic, I don't think I get access...is this correct?

I can confirm that you can access the Star Alliance lounge even without a boarding pass leaving from TBIT. I had a four hour UA layover recently (domestic to domestic) and hopped on over with my BP and they let me through since I said I was going into the lounge. This is official LAX policy, as per a Tweet I found from the LAX Twitter page on some aviation blog. This lounge was awesome and well worth the walk!

But see my earlier post about lengthy security lines at TBIT due to construction.

I'm in the business class lounge now...WOW, this place is NICE! Having a nice Asahi beer and will take a shower then go get something to eat shortly. Sitting at a long desk in the back doing some work...they certainly aren't enforcing the no sleeping rule. Few people spralled out on the back couches.

In ORD (home of the 3 hour redeye) F club.
Lounge attendant came around and rudely woke / asked about a half dozen people to "sit up and stop trying to sleep."
A rule (even if I disagree with it) is a rule. However her, and her colleague's behavior was absolutely obnoxious and unprofessional. Myself and a few other weary travelers with nothing better to do have all fired off letters to UA.
Friendly!

I find it hilarious, because in DEN I've literally seen people in the common area curled up in a ball on the floor wearing a t-shirt and sweatpants and no shoes - snoring loudly - and nobody bats an eye.
When it comes to crabby dragons, nobody's got ORD beat - not even EWR. I swear there are a couple of ancient lizards at ORD who do nothing but police the place for perceived rules violations like middle school hall monitors.
Another reason why the UCs are a joke. It's either a homeless shelter or Catholic School apparently. A happy medium would be nice.

Obviously, this dragon needs to be reminded about how her bread is buttered.

Rules should be enforced compassionately, particularly for companies, like United, who are directly serving customers. Honestly, they're easier to enforce that way, than like school marm. That said, the rules aren't arbitrary, and while they impact all of us negatively some times, they're there for a reason.

honestly it isn't the airline that drove me away from UA. it's customer hostile attitudes from UA employees such as those told in this thread.
