United Debuts Sleek New Club at Newark Terminal A

United Airlines has officially opened a glossy new lounge at Newark Liberty International Airport.

Located in Terminal A (which is also relatively new), the new 15,000-square-foot space opened on Wednesday, according to The Points Guy.

The new United Airlines lounge is the first to open in the terminal and is expected to be followed by an American Airlines Admirals Club, a delta Air Lines Sky Club and an American Express Centurion Lounge.

United’s sleek and modern new space is located across from Gate A27 and includes about 350 seats. Some of the amenity and design highlights of the new lounge include two large living room-style spaces filled with recliner seats and individual chairs. There’s also a stylish bar area where highlights include granite counters and wood-lined paneling, says The Points Guy. Six beers are available here, as well as nonalcoholic drinks.

Food offerings, meanwhile, include a buffet where visitors can find all-day dining options that range from hot appetizers to sandwiches, soups and a salad bar.

The lounge also features easy access to power outlets, USB-A ports and USB-C ports, as well as free Wi-Fi. Additional design features include a wellness room that can also be used as a changing and lactation room.

One of the few drawbacks of the new space? It lacks shower facilities and private areas to make phone calls, says The Points Guy. Another less than ideal feature? The club has only two help desks serviced by staff and relies heavily on self-service kiosks.

Last May, United opened the largest club in its U.S. network in Newark's Terminal C3. That nearly 30,000 square-foot facility offers travelers a modern design, enhanced amenities and culinary offerings, locally-sourced art and furniture pieces and views of the Manhattan skyline
