The Good

  • Large, modern space recently renovated with United's Polaris-inspired design aesthetic
  • Shower suites are excellent for freshening up between international connections
  • Virginia and D.C. area craft beer selections add local character
  • Central Concourse B location convenient for most domestic United flights

The Bad

  • Can get very crowded during morning and evening connection banks
  • Food quality is standard United Club fare, not exceptional
  • Long walk from international concourses (C and D)

Pro Tips

  • Port City Optimal Wit is brewed in Alexandria, Virginia, just 15 minutes from the airport. It is a refreshing Belgian-style wheat beer.
  • If this club is full, the Concourse C United Club is connected via AeroTrain and may have more availability.
  • Request a shower suite upon arrival. With three suites serving a major hub, waits can build by mid-afternoon.
  • The Virginia peanut soup is a regional specialty that appears regularly on the menu. It is rich, creamy, and unique to this location.
