Premier 1K
Global Services

Explorer card members don't get Premier Access, just United Club cardholders.

I didn't check for a 1K line, everything I saw just said premier access. The old premier/GS area by T8 is now group check in.

I don't think I've been to the same terminal 7 on subsequent departures in something like 1.5 years now! It looks different every time these days (and mostly for the better, IMHO).
