Maybe Kirby won't shut down Polaris Clubs after all - maybe start selling passes temporarily for $159 allowing entry 2 hour before a flight.

I think this a great idea, as long as they respect capacity issues. Cash is king and is the only thing that matters right now.

$159 for 2 hours in the Polaris lounge isn’t worth it IMO. In fact not worth it at all.

Two hours, I agree. Three or more -- I'm thinking could grab a nice shower, full meal, open bar, quiet space. Not a bad deal.

Not sure if you're still just speculating, or replying and saying slippers are gone...on my recent flight slippers were on the menu as an item that needed to be requested, while I didn't, I did see some slippers left on board so presumably they were available.

Slippers are on the menu. Both ORD-LHR and LHR-ORD they were not positioned on the seats at boarding, however, I sat in 1L and above me was a gigantic package of slippers. The FAs grabbed several just before pushback for guests that asked for them. Including me. Definitely available - but by request now.

Yeah, maybe 3 hours prior to flight is better, to account for boarding time. It's got to be significantly more expensive that a UC day pass, though. Don't need people camping for 6 hours, but does provide a way for UA to make up some revenue and keep Polaris staff/lounge space busier.

Wonder if they are the sole item on the express menu.

What are chances of UA temporarily shutting Polaris Lounges as long-haul cutbacks (I assume) accelerate? There’s room in UCs and Kirby could blame Covid19.

Lasting “enhancements” post COVID-19
EDIT: Started a redundant thread by mistake. Here was the meat of my post:
Call me pessimistic, but I could see many of the below happening and staying in place until UA’s growth rates return to pre-crisis levels: - Increased checked bag fees - Seat reservation fees for all nonelite Y pax >24 hours before flight - Charge for soft drinks on most domestic flights - Aggressive hawking of TOD upgrades (verbal pitches at the gate, etc) - Scaling down of Polaris onboard service: simplified dessert, termination of Saks partnership / return to generic bedding |
I think they will realise the error of their ways and go to 3 across seating so we can maintain a safe distance.
