The Good

The Bad
- No showers available
- Food is standard United Club fare, nothing special

Pro Tips
- The window counter seats face the runways used by Caribbean-bound flights. Great for plane spotting in the afternoon.
- The black bean soup is surprisingly good and filling. Pair it with crackers for a light meal before your flight.
- Visit during the late morning lull for the best experience. The morning rush clears out by 9:00 AM.
- If you are connecting from Concourse D and have time, this lounge is a quieter alternative to the busy D gate area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Priority Pass at this United Club?
No. United Clubs do not accept Priority Pass or any third-party programs. You need a United Club membership, qualifying credit card, Star Alliance Gold status on a qualifying flight, or a day pass.
How far is it from Concourse D?
About 12 to 15 minutes walking from the D gates. MIA concourses are connected airside, so no re-screening required.
Is this lounge busy?
Less so than the D gate lounges. Most MIA traffic flows through Concourse D, so the J concourse lounges tend to be calmer outside of peak departure times.
