United Club – San Francisco, CA (SFO) Terminal 3E
United Club SFO design
While it is pretty obvious that the United Club at San Francisco airport Terminal 3 Concourse E on the mezzanine level is temporary—access is somewhat convoluted and the facility lacks windows—United has taken great care in making it as appealing and functional as possible.
The lounge features most characteristics of the new United Club design, including a bar with designer lighting, power and USB outlets at every seat, comfortable furniture, and pictures of vintage aircraft. For better or for worse, this temporary lounge is a step above many of United’s out-of-date domestic clubs.
