Why / When would you like to use a shower at a UA lounge / club?
Presently for UCs, only the C123 EWR UC has showers
All the Polaris lounges have showers
The SFO T2 MLL has showers
Reported the new DEN UC will have showers and showers will be introduced at hub UCs when remodeled

Showers removed from all domestic United Clubs (and now returning to EWR, others?)

Found a trip report of mine from 2010 that had some pics of the IFL and showers. I recall there was some question / inconsistency about shower access, which I mention in the report as well.
From my memory, there were published "arrivals" hours, and that access to the shower outside of those hours was the questionable part. But wow, that was a long time ago.
And judging by the pictures in the TR, the phone cameras were crap. (I won't say it was the skill of the operator). Haha

It's pretty wild that the Admirals Club at SFO has showers, and the SFO United Clubs...don't.
Really makes their premium transcon product much less competitive since it doesn't come with Polaris access.
I'm assuming it was Scott Kirby who ripped the showers out of the UA Clubs? He was involved with the removal of IFE from AA's planes, so that tracks.

Very few domestic UCs ever had showers but UA may be considering for UA hubs during major renovations (EWR has them)
But this is a discussion for another thread, Showers removed from all domestic United Clubs (and now returning to EWR, others?)

So, yeah, not a decision made with an eye to remaining competitive in the business travel market.

Where to shower at SFO, DEN, and IAH when flying UA economy?
Polaris is out of the question when flying in Y. Besides AMEX Centurion, what are my options for showers if I also have a Priority Pass?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Edited to add: as per information shared by lsquare, the Minute Suites at IAH C-North have one shower, for pay.

Capital One lounge in DEN also has showers. IAH (Marriott) and DEN (Westin) have on property hotels you could try and do a day use room at, but I suspect you aren't looking for that.
