United Club IAH design
The United Club Houston Bush airport Terminal A is made of single compact room with an open layout. The setup is pretty basic, with a handful of rows of seats facing each other, yet the space looks pleasant thanks to the high ceilings and large windows which create a bright and breezy atmosphere.
Counter style seating runs along the windows, offering patrons a view on the tarmac. Power outlets are available at every seat.
The club tends to get very warm in the summer, with floor-to-ceiling windows and weak air conditioning.
United Club IAH amenities
The United Club Houston Bush airport Terminal A offers few amenities, considering that the lounge primarily serves regional flights.
The food and beverage offering is typical of domestic United Clubs. In the morning, patrons will find a continental breakfast spread followed by snacks, soups, and salads throughout the day. The fare is simple but tasty, yet it is no substitute for a full meal.
Soft drinks, house wines and well drinks are complimentary, while premium beverages may be purchased from the bar.
Behind the reception area is a small work space equipped with a communal table and a copier/scanner.
The club does not have a bathroom. Facilities are located on either side of the lounge in the concourse.
United Club IAH bottom line
The United Club at Houston Bush airport in Concourse A is United’s smallest and most basic lounge at IAH—it is essentially just a place to sit and enjoy a snack. The large windows, high ceilings and relatively limited number of guests make the club an enjoyable place to pass time, though there are essentially no amenities to look forward to.
- The bright and airy open space.
- The comfortable seats.
- The limited amenities.
- The lack of a bathroom.
