United Has 4 Lounges at Newark Airport—Which One Is the Best?
"Take the escalator up to United's newest Newark airport lounge perched above the busyness of the terminal below. The United Club near Gate C74 opened in October 2023 and has a touch of the hip-hotel atmosphere mentioned above, but is far more practical—and frankly, feels less spacious. After all, its 18,000-square-feet has more than 400 seats, and is therefore proportionately less spacious for each passenger. The circular space reads more utilitarian overall, which makes sense since the look was inspired by midtown Manhattan, and even includes ceiling art that’s an ode to Grand Central Station. The buffet is broken up into a few sections (the gummy bears lured me straight to the snack bar), and I happened to catch the breakfast-to-lunch switchover when fresh chocolate chip cookies were brought out (I may have stashed away a few for the flight). While it also has a self-scan entrance, bar, and wellness room, my favorite part was sitting at the counter along the windows, looking down at the humming terminal below."
