Food selection is rather limited as many of our fellow flyers have reported. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...2ad5b3aab.jpeg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...f033eb9a9.jpeg ... Did you get offered an upgraded snack with your punched boarding pass? |

That's the updated, good selection. Just prior to this, EWR was truly woeful.
Did you get offered an upgraded snack with your punched boarding pass? Last time I was there, the punch just got you a better drink (which I don't drink so useless, I guess I should have given it away to someone but its hard to do that 6ft apart)

Edited to add: reading through the job description for the ORD position it says under “general responsibilities”: -greets and seats customers -presents customers with menus -serves food to customers at a limited number of tables, using proper rules of etiquette don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up, but that surely doesn’t sound like a United Club job, more like a Polaris Lounge… Edit two: lol - it’s just a general job description- all “ club attendant” positions list those |

I’m bored right now, so I perused Sodexo’s careers page and saw positions listed for the following clubs-
-ATL -AUS -BOS -CLE -DCA -DEN -DFW -FLL -HNL -IAD -IAH -LAS -LAX -LGA -MCO -ORD -SAN -SFO Not sure if this is the first wave, or if other locations still have employees available to bring on. But good to see some hiring coming along.

Sleuthing the 8 clubs reopening by Labor Day on my blog: https://www.dansdeals.com/points-tra...pen-labor-day/
FT disclosure: This link is to an online source in which I have a financial interest. Summary of guesses from my post:
|
United ORD C Gates Club opened as of today, stopped by quickly this morning. Just pre-packaged to-go bags, coffee and water. Was in a rush so didn’t look really close but nice that it’s finally opened again.

Just given my travel patterns the domestic lounge situation matters much more to me than PL because I probably only really experience PL 6-8 times a year and when I do, sometimes it's for a very short time (versus knowing full well that I'll be marooned at a domestic lounge for 4-6 hours at least a few times a year).
With that said, my firm has approved INTL travel for work as of 6/1. We'll have our first LHR trips in July. Hearing similar color in my industry (finance) from small and mid-sized firms that are basically moving back to more normal operations overall. Even the bulge-bracket firms in New York are starting to roll-out plans for return to in-office for post Memorial Day with the goal of looking much more "pre-COVID" by Labor Day. I know large companies will be much slower to return to INTL travel. |
IAH E UC at capacity 8:30am. About 15 people lined up outside.

Actually I was not aware of enhanced snack selection. Bartenders never mentioned about them. Just premium drinks can be ordered. I wonder what would happen if you do not have paper boarding pass to punch in though.
I haven't done business class out of EWR lately. My guess is they would print you a boarding pass and then punch it for you to give the bartender. When I departed ORD, they were supposed to give me some type of pass (according to the bartender), but he just looked at my BP and let it go at that. They don't seem to have process down very well....not that surprisingly for United. |
Moved an extended discussion of broadening access to PLs to its own thread,
If and when Polaris Lounges re-open, should access be expanded? GS, transcons, ... WineCountryUA UA coModerator |

ORD PL
Something is going on at the ORD Polaris Lounge.
These guys were leaving the lounge with some sort of equipment carts. The door was cracked, but I couldn't see anyone to ask any questions of. I didn't loiter as I was hurrying over to my boarding flight. |

Has anyone received any indication or insight from United as to when the Polaris lounges are scheduled to reopen? If they've announced a set of UCs reopening in July 2021 and another set by Labor Day 2021, then I'm assuming the PLs will reopen after then but how much longer afterwards? Is it a function of international business class trave rebounding by X%, if so what is X?
