Connecting: The airport to or from which you have a short-haul flight to connect to a longer flight, i.e. EWR-ORD-NRT or NRT-ORD-EWR

Sorry, I can't remember many of them (I couldn't sleep at all on my Tokyo flight and showed-up at the club as a virtual zombie), but one that stood out was a delicious fingerling potato salad with cress and scallions, served in individual large ramekins, not from a bowl. There was also a Chicken Parm that seemed very popular-I didn't try that one though.

ETA: whoa- the lounge is now actually quite full-- maybe 3/4. Quite the influx while I was eating. But it's still reasonably peaceful. The spacing of the sections/modules helps regulate congestion and offer a calm environment.

I was there on Jun 1 and I really loved it.
The food tasted much better than the food at the Polaris SFO.

Curious to see how it is come October when we go to FCO. We did some early Polaris flights TPAC last March and it was nice but this years TATL in Polaris was pretty underwhelming with the cut backs onboard. Just hoping the food in the lounge will be decent so we can skip the meal on the flight and get some sleep.

Considering the reported load, United probably can benefit if they let in P.S. business class passengers, perhaps those only on J and C class tickets, so no upgrades, no award, etc.. It will be a nice boost for the P.S. program and gain some market shares away from competition.

Actually I'm still here… I really don't think the PS crowd should be admitted, it's a nice haven for business class. And PS can be utilized with an RPU and will dilute the experience. The cod over the puréed cauliflower it's quite nice

Walked by the entrance today on my way to my EWR-LAX flight. It looks real sharp, especially compared to the tired old entrance that used to be there. Have to wait a couple of months before getting the full experience

And United's choice to exclude PS from the Polaris lounge was the correct one, in my opinion.
