Overview

The United Club at Phoenix airport exudes an old fashioned charm. It is clean and well-maintained, though both the décor and furniture have seen better days.

The lounge includes two main seating areas as well as a bar. The window walls let plenty of light in, though the nearby jetways obstruct the view on the tarmac. While the space is relatively small, it typically doesn’t get crowded since Phoenix is a rather minor destination for United.

The food and drink selection is in line with what other domestic United Clubs offer: continental breakfast and finger food throughout the day.

Overall, the United Club at PHX is a quiet place to work or relax before a flight, but it fails to impress – hopefully it will be refurbished soon.

The pluses

The electric fireplace by the bathrooms – an odd sight!
The peace and quiet.

The minuses

The tired furniture.

Old fashioned, and no amenities to speak of. Then again the nearby Admirals club isn’t much better.

Small, spartan, cheap.

The usual bananas, cheese and crackers, and trail mix.

Wi-fi and a bathroom
