Interesting! I was also under the impression you needed a T5 boarding pass, but I've never attempted it myself as most of the advice I've seen agreed with that and it's quite out of the way to go and fail to get in. Maybe I'll give it a shot next time I have a long layover there.

I used one of their super stylish (NOT!)1980s style showers on May 21st, 2017.

It turned out, in the end, that we had to wait 40 minutes on the Tarmac because they had no gates open.

Then my Global Entry didn't work because they never said I had to update my passport when I got my replacement.

So in the end, I had enough time to get everything done, get to the gate, and board.

Read from another FT thread, SFO now has two restaurants in terminal 3 (Yankee Pier and SF Giants Club House) with $28 credit each for cardholder and a guest.

Excellent news! Too bad we didn't know this on our last trip.

I did not know that either until I read it from another FT thread. If you flying out of terminal 3 (UA) and international G gates, these two restaurants are ideal instead of using United Clubs.

If you're flying out of gates 35-45 on AA (pier C) American Tap Room is also part of PP.

It's sad that PP is absolutely useless at ORD. Such a big airport and no domestic options. Hopefully that will change in the coming years as the renovation creates more space.

I would be very surprised if the new "global terminal" (T2) doesn't have some PP options, since T5 currently has two.

But, we're still many years out and the nature of the PP program may change in that time...

Family trip to visit my sister in Japan, but flying back separately because I live in Baltimore and they live in DC, and my friends can drive me to BWI. Outbound is no problem, flying up to Newark Thursday night and using a free hotel night.

Coming back April 7th.

Depart Narita at 5:30pm, Arrive at Chicago at 2:30pm. Depart for BWI at 6:30pm. (Approx Times) All on United Airlines, no codeshares with ANA.

I have 2 United Club passes, and I, but not my parents, am a member of Priority Pass. My mom might want to use the lounge, and I will DEF want a shower when arriving in Chicago. I know there are $10 showers a Narita.

What's the best strategy to use the passes and membership?
If you are a Hilton Honors member - no status needed - you can use the ORD Hilton Fitness Center accessible via underground tunnel from the terminals
10 Minute walk Max, 15 bucks give access to showers, sauna, steam room and mini lap pool.
Used it on a 2 hour layover last month and it was a fabulous experience!!
