No, you cannot use a United Lounge if you are flying another airline, unless you meet specific criteria. United lounges are primarily for United Airlines passengers and their eligible guests.
To access a United Lounge, you typically need to be flying on a United flight the same day. This rule applies to both domestic and international flights.
However, there are exceptions. If you hold a United Club membership or a qualifying premium cabin ticket on a Star Alliance partner airline, you may gain access.
Another way to enter is if you have a United MileagePlus Premier status. This can allow you entry even when flying on a different airline, provided those airlines are part of the Star Alliance network.
It’s also worth noting that day passes are available for purchase, but this option is limited and may not be available at all locations.
Always check the specific lounge’s policy before your trip for the most accurate information.
