United Club (C123)

POST-COVID 19 UPDATE:

The club got so much better since the last time we reviewed it in November 2021. Great amenities, privacy booths, wide array of snacks, fruits, salads, baguette sandwiches, soups, and hot dishes. The resting area is more than spacious fit for every kind of traveller; the bar at the far end of the lounge is not free (like in Polaris)

Not sure if that's the right club, for there exists quite a confusion on Google Maps regarding United Polaris Club, that just got reopened this past Monday (November 15th). It has been closed since the beginning of the pandemics; that's the apparent reason Google Map doesn't list it but lists two other locations, the infamous pop--up club near the gate 93, Terminal C, and the one (C124) we are currently reviewing. I suspect that it is indeed United Polaris Club, located around Gate 120-121. We haven't noticed much difference since the pre-Covid-19 days. The club is really spacious, if not gigantic, divided into work area, dining area, buffet area, bar counter seating area, and the resting area. Tables and chairs are very comfortable, as well as other amenities, including an adequate number of restrooms. The buffet choices are really decent for an airport lounge, there are plenty of salads, cereals, fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, as well as a dedicated hot dishes counter. The table service dining offerings are sufficiently versatile including Atlantic cod with mushrooms, cheese platter, spicy cauliflower, etc. The menu is divided into appetizers, small bites, and main courses. One has to bear in mind that all fine-dining services (food and beverages) are free for the United Polaris customers. If you are hard pressed for time, skip a table dining meal and opt for buffet choices instead, for the table service may get quite slow. Highly recommended.
