Lounge Availability on Arrival IAD/LHR
I've never really understood UAL rules on utilizing the lounge upon arrival of a international flight. For instance, I'm traveling business on an award ticket from IAD to LHR overnight. When I arrive at LHR, can I utilize the lounge to get organized, have coffee, shower, etc.? If so, how do you access it after going through customs, immigration, etc? Thanks for any help.

Also, there is only one lift that goes to the 2nd floor. You have to take the far right lift.

What's available for NCs with no status (I upgraded my son, DEN-LHR, who is then going/coming from CPT)

What if you're a RCC member doing IAD-LHR in Y, can you use the arrival Lounge?

I remember reading that *G or any pax in C can use the arrivals lounge since it is not a UA Arrivals Suite?
Can anyone confirm from past visits.

I thought that as a 1K, I could use the arrivals suite, regardless of COS. I'm travelling in Y in a few weeks with my father and it would be nice to get a shower.
Does anyone have any recent experience?
