The Good
- Large, well-maintained United Club with shower facilities
- Convenient location near the C70 gates with easy access from security
- Solid food program with hot buffet options throughout the day
- Work bar with tarmac views is ideal for business travelers
The Bad
- Morning rush from 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM is intense at United's largest East Coast hub
- Can feel crowded during connection banks
- Standard United Club experience without the premium touches of Polaris
Pro Tips
- This is the closest United Club to security, so it fills up first. If crowded, walk to the C120 or C123 locations farther down.
- Sign up for a shower immediately. Two stalls serve the busiest United hub on the East Coast.
- The work bar is the best spot for calls. It faces the tarmac away from general seating and has individual power stations.
- The hot dog sliders are a quirky local touch. They appear on the food rotation regularly.
