New United Club menus to be "announced" 4 March 2015

United Clubs to be renovated


Most domestic clubs similar version of the food offerings. Full spread at all domestic hubs, with cut-down or hybrid versions at most outstation clubs. Although from time to time some experiences occur at various UCs.

International Clubs with different catering: GUM, HKG, MEX, LHR, NRT

You can also get a food menu with ingredients list by using "food" instead of "drinks" in that url.

Menus aren't kept very up to date, though, and many are quite inaccurate. All hub menus appear to be same, but outstation ones vary.

Perhaps they've stopped updating these files now that the pandemic has "ended" (move away from prepackaged, stop emphasizing cleanplus / minimal touch points, etc.).

At IAH E, very different than my last visit

Fresh sandwiches and wraps, brownies are back. There was breakfast when I came in at 10:30 but I didn't pay much attention. No prepackaged stuff.

I am at a UA Club right now. The food is atrocious. There is no Centurion Lounge or Priority Pass Lounge at B Terminal in Orlando/MCO so paying $59 on a business trip for access was my only option so that my wife and I can use the 2 passes I get from the Explorer card on our vacation.

The thing is, if you ever have a United ticket and it says "GOLD" anywhere on it and you are flying to Europe or a few of the airports in the US that have them, give the Lufthansa lounges a visit. They are FAR better in terms of food, provide warm food etc. And especially in Europe Lufthansa realizes that they have to compete well with the Asian airlines. In the US there is no such pressure. Although the Centurion Lounges from Amex do provide much, much better food than the airline lounges.

I think the Club in terminal B is a Priority Pass lounge. I haven't used that one get, but might be worth a visit.

Is there any rhyme or reason (location, time of day, size of club, etc.) on the type of soup that is offered? I have flown through IAH/DEN/IAD/DCA/EWR/ORD multiple times over the last few months & it's been Tomato Basil 95% of the time. The only exception has been 1 Broccoli & Cheddar (my favorite) & 1 Italian wedding.

Yes, the Club is Priority Pass, and in term B. You just have to take the train twice each way if using UA gates (5 minutes to get back is adequate). The food isn't really better than UC, but at least it's different.

I've only seen Tomato Basil and Broccoli Cheddar. Feels random to me. I like Italian wedding better than those two, but actually what I would prefer is the one labelled Thai chicken (something like that). It was vaguely curry flavoured and had rice in it; a little bit weird but pretty good, I felt.

LAX had a ramen bar together with tomato basil earlier this month:






but had Chicken Poblano in December:


Last time I visited LAS, they had the Italian Wedding:




In February, EWR clubs had both Minestrone as well as Tuscan white bean:

At SFO Rotunda club today (late afternoon) basket of Goli samples put out w/$10 GCs. Was leaving club, so I couldn’t hang out and see who was going to empty the basket with one grab.

Early morning connections at LAX Friday and Monday, the UC had greek yogurt, granola, berries, and honey, i.e., make your own yogurt parfait. This is my breakfast of choice, and it was really good. Wish they offered same at SFO!

while my club experiences have pretty much been limited to United/Continental, with a few EK and 2 former NW clubs, I couldn't help but laugh when I stopped into the SEA UC on arrival, Thursday, and then ended up changing plans and flying DL to LAX yesterday and went into the SEA SkyClub with a colleague, I was floored at how much of a difference there was. Outside of the toddler food offerings by UA, I enjoyed being in a SkyClub at a hub, and finding a place to sit......unlike every UA club I go to.

Get it together UA, you suck!


rare chocolate delicacy from Jersey in the United Club




wow!

The difference between UC and SkyClub at SEA is absolutely shocking. The AS N lounge is also pretty nice.
