The Good
- Newer build quality matches the terminal with clean, modern finishes
- Red beans and rice on Mondays is a genuine NOLA touch that regulars look forward to

The Bad
- No showers available at this location
- Food portions lean toward snack-size rather than full meals
- Only accessible when flying United or Star Alliance
Pro Tips
- Monday is the day to visit if you want the best food. Red beans and rice is a New Orleans tradition served every Monday, and this United Club honors it with a solid version.
- During carnival season (January through Mardi Gras), they stock king cake bites. Grab one before they disappear by mid-morning.
- The window bar seats offer views of Concourse B gates and have the best outlet access for working on a laptop.
- If you are connecting and have time, this lounge is worth the walk from Concourse C or D since the food has more local character than The Club on Concourse D.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Priority Pass at this United Club?
No. United Clubs do not accept Priority Pass or any third-party lounge access programs. You need a United Club membership, qualifying credit card, Star Alliance Gold status on a qualifying itinerary, or a day pass.
Do I need to be flying United?
Yes. You must have a same-day United or Star Alliance partner boarding pass to enter.
Is there anything unique about this location compared to other United Clubs?
The MSY United Club leans into local flavor more than most locations. The Monday red beans and rice, Cajun-spiced snacks, and carnival season king cake are all specific to this airport. The space itself is also newer than average since the entire terminal opened in 2019.
