Any airline. It's applicable at JFK, EWR and SFO as well as all these lounges are now taken over by Plaza Premium. I got in with the same IAD-RDU BP I used to access the TK Lounge 10 minutes later.

Currently chilling in TK lounge lounge, came around 2pm, it was practically empty. Food is very good, and booze is great. Definitely worth it. ​ ​​​​​​​​​​​

How far is the TK lounge from the C gates (roughly)?

It's in Terminal B, so you would have to take a train or shuttle. United App navigation says 30 minutes give or take.

I’d put it at 15-20min depending on where in C you are going/coming from. The fastest I’ve gotten to C is about 10min.

I did actually clocked myself, it took approximately 15-17 minutes for me to get to the beginning of terminal C, and 30 minutes to my gate D19.

What was your routing for that? I usually walk to A and take the moon buggy to D, takes 3-5 min longer than B to C on the train.

I actually went to the beginning of A, approximately A15, and took the train. It was some walk from train to C, but it was actually not that bad. ​​​

If you’re going to the D gates that’s the best way to go in my opinion especially if you’re going to the Air France lounge . If you’re at TK/LH I would take the train to C and walk

I was at TK lounge, and simply followed United App directions ​​​. I'll experiment next time ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you have the Amex Platinum card, use the Virgin Atlantic Flying Club lounge instead. It's much quieter, since it doesn't belong to Priority Pass

The AF / KLM lounge depends on capacity controls, for Priority Pass holders - I've visited in the evening and they've let me in, on numerous occassions

Im a fan of the Champagne at AF, the French Bread sandwiches are pretty good too.

Thanks for the tip on Virgin Atlantic, read that a month or so ago here in this thread.. Never knew

I figure in about 30 minutes from when boarding starts. I don't like to cut it too close. Incidentally, the train station elevator across from the BA lounge is faster than the escalator. Save 15 seconds!
