United Polaris Lounge Open in Newark (EWR)
What a pleasant surprise after waking to United club in C74, they told us the Polaris lounge is open...back I walked, and yes it was open. Took a shower and now waiting for the seat-down meal to open (630am). They have food, bar, and other things open, but I have 2 hours before the next flight. (soft Launch, service good and everyone happy to see it open)

I can only hope that the lack of advanced fanfare at EWR (as opposed to IAD) means that maybe the IAH lounge where we'll pass through at the end of November will similarly open on short notice. Of course, since our first flight originates at IAD, we'll have one PL for sure...just greedy.

Funny. I was going to post what "Opening in November" really meant as I passed through EWR twice this weekend. Yesterday I walked past again with the sticker about November still on the door and wasn't sure if that was referring to this November or the first opening of the PL before Covid :-D
Glad to hear it's open now.

Flying on a Polaris equipped plane domestically does not give you access to the Polaris Lounge

Can't wait to see if there's a noticeable change in the C74 UC next time I have a late afternoon domestic flight. I might even score a window seat with a working power outlet!
