Does United Premium Plus get club access?

Yes, those flying in Premium Plus receive discounted access to United Club lounges.



No, a ticket for United Premium Plus—United's purple-seated premium economy product—does not automatically grant you access to the United Club or Polaris Lounges. While Premium Plus offers a significantly upgraded experience over standard economy, including wider seats, more legroom, a better meal service, and complimentary alcoholic beverages, lounge access is not an included perk. However, passengers flying in United Premium Plus are eligible to purchase a "United Club Trip Pass" or a one-time pass at a reduced rate compared to standard economy passengers, depending on the route. If you have elite status through United MileagePlus (such as Premier Gold or higher) and are flying on an international itinerary, you might still get lounge access regardless of your cabin. It is important to distinguish Premium Plus from "United Polaris" (Business Class), as Polaris passengers are the ones who receive full access to the exclusive Polaris Lounges and standard United Clubs as part of their fare.
