If you ever need to go between terminals at EWR again you can use the UA Shuttle Bus to avoid having to clear security again. Unless you’re going Terminal B to Terminal C, then you must re-clear but Terminal C to B you do not have to re-clear.
Great review by the way!
Nice review
I really enjoyed the Chicago Polaris lounge and the showers are very refreshing. Found it less busy and more comfortable than the Las Vegas Centurion lounge.
Question I have is if I am flying business/first class and have access to the Polaris lounge am I able/allowed to bring a friend that is not flying in business/first class?
According to United’s lounge access page, only if you’re flying First Class are you entitled to bring in a guest. Business class passengers are not allowed to bring in a guest.
Thanks
I missed out on the Houston Polaris lounge because I flew into Houston on business class but flew economy and premium economy the rest of the way home to Calgary and then Winnipeg.
They are pretty strict on the access and meeting the terms, next time
