One more question. Is there an agent at the UC so that we can make changes to flights if necessary?

There are UA agents in all of the Clubs in ORD and a CO-staffed desk in the B6 Club for CO flights.

One of the clubs has self serve fountain drinks, which might be nice for the kids. I think it is the one near the higher numbered gates in B, though I am sure someone will quickly correct me if I am wrong.
The other clubs require the bartender for sodas, not self serve.
Walk right by the pitiful club in the F gates.
Have a great trip. Hope you enjoy the inaugural club visit.

From CO's Pres Plus card page:
http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...lbenefits.aspx
The other members opinions are pretty spot on.... my .02:
depending on time of day 4 people will have a tough time in the F UC
Personally, I would go with C or B18.

My thought is skip the F and go with the club that is closest to your departure gate. There are small plus and minuses to the B and C clubs but with a family in toe, not having to schlep your luggage and kids any further than possible trumps the little nuances people have brought up.
The only thing significant is that the F lounge in Terminal 2 is small and really best for a quick visit if you are departing from E or F gates.

Can anyone agree, or state for the record, that the IFL in C is the best of all lounges in the B&C terminals? I know the OP stated they were flying domestic and therefore won't qualify, but I'll be in and out of the IFL for the coming year at least twice a week and I've never used it before. Any firsthand knowledge?

Keep in mind that your membership only gets one free connection. If you wnat to connect multiple devices you'll need a card from the desk for each one. I've had mixed success getting additional card which has been trending towards the NO end recently. I have a bit better luck with guests getting their own cards but some of the agents at ORD are very protective of the card.
If you try logging in and logging out make sure you go to the actual T-Mobile page and click log-out otherwise it takes sevreal minutes for the system to realize a device has been disconnected and allow for your MP# or card code to be used again.

Without a doubt, the best lounge option in B/C if you have access to it. It has decent, snack appetizer type food, decent selection of beer and liqour, and good agents to call on if needed.
As others say, it is not an LH or TG type of experience, but is not a horrible place to wait for a flight.
It is also connected to the arrivals lounge, with showers. I have had some success in using these facilities even after the arrivals lounge has closed for the day, but cannot be guaranteed.
