United Polaris Lounge

LAX Polaris Lounge was surprisingly decent for breakfast. They don't open up the dining room until 8AM but you can still order off the dining menu before then and they will deliver the food to wherever you're seating in the main seating area. The servers collecting the order were surprisingly cold and not very friendly. Didn't really full explain the setup and let me look at the menu without advising me that it's possible to order without the dining room being open. Overall it's a small lounge but was able to find a few seats but surprisingly busy in the morning. The mushroom quiche was ok but a little cold when it was delivered. Pumpkin bread pudding was pretty good however. They ended up setting up the hot buffet around the 7:45AM time frame with the basics. Cold buffet of pastries, cold cuts, yogurt, etc. was there since I arrived.

United Airlines Polaris Lounge located in Terminal 7 of Los Angeles International Airport is spacious and bright. During breakfast hours, travelers who have enough time should just forget about the buffet and head straight to the Dining Room for a freshly prepared meal. Both the Bananas Foster French Toast and Omelet Your Way (Egg White Omelet) are delicious! While staff at the reception is amicable and welcoming, servers in other areas don’t seem to care much.

It is a smaller one of the Polaris lounges but when I was there, it wasn't crowded so that was nice. I was able to get a table at the dining room right away. Nice sitting areas similar to the other Polaris lounges, looking at the many United planes outside the big windows.

This exclusive lounge is located in Terminal 7 at LAX. It’s ONLY for international business class passengers flying with United or Star Alliance partner airlines. We were in transit from Houston waiting for our 15 hours long haul flight to Sydney. It’s an awesome business lounge. Excellent food, great service and amenities. This lounge has a full bar and shower rooms. Offers a la carte and buffet service. Brilliant and worth it!

Upon my arrival at LAX's United Polaris Lounge around 11 AM, I was pleasantly greeted by the onset of lunch service, featuring a brand-new menu making its debut that day. The culinary experience kicked off with the Chicken Lemon Soup, which was nothing short of fabulous—a real highlight of the meal. However, the cheese platter presented a minor setback, offering only blue cheese—a variety I'm not particularly fond of. I would have appreciated a more diverse cheese selection. The salmon, while fresh, lacked the distinctive flavor I've grown accustomed to with Norwegian salmon in Scandinavia, coming across as a bit bland and overly fishy for my taste. Given the new menu's recent introduction, there was a noticeable delay in service, with food taking about 45 minutes to arrive. I was also slightly disappointed that the banana frittata wasn't available, but the alternative options provided were satisfactory. On a positive note, the service in the lounge was exemplary. The waitress was not only attentive but also exuded a friendly demeanor that enhanced the overall experience. The lounge itself boasts a spacious and airy ambiance, complemented by a delightful view of the tarmac, making for a relaxing environment before a flight. Despite some minor culinary hiccups, I can highly recommend the United Polaris Lounge to those who have access. It's a comfortable space with commendable service, ideal for travelers seeking a serene spot to unwind before their journey.

Nice lounge exclusive when flying in business or first class on a United or ANA flight. Cannot be used for premium domestic flights, premium economy, and does not allow guests or passes. These restrictions help control the crowds. If you are in any of those categories, there's a United lounge a few minutes away towards the gates. Since this is an international terminal, I noticed the regular lounge was much less crowded. I visited both and both were pretty similar. Main difference being the shower facilities. As far as the chairs, food, drinks, power plugs, I didn't notice any major difference between the two. At most, maybe a few more food options, but main dishes were the same. Overall, great lounge with many sitting areas that were spaced out. The back area behind the escalators was much less crowded with additional restrooms. Grab your food and drinks and head past the escalators if it's crowded in the main area.

We were flying to Sydney with an 11 hour layover at LAX and were able to stay at the Polaris Lounge about several weeks ago. We were able to do so since we splurged for 1st class tickets. What a great experience!!! Everything was free, food (fantastic) and drinks (except very specialty liquor). Lots of comfortable seating, also very nice showers (single rooms, very secure, they unlock and check). Very relaxing. It was soooo great!!!

I fly United reluctantly, and I have visited the Polaris lounge several times. The quality has gone from acceptable to poor in recent years. The dining room experience is an absolute joke. Servers are slow, uninterested, and inept (wrong orders on multiple occasions). I suggest arriving at the airport shortly before your flight. The on-board experience will be typically poor (the United standard), but at least you will minimize the total duration of dismay.
