United Airlines on Sept. 3 will begin renovations on its
Polaris Lounge at Chicago O’Hare International Airport, the carrier confirmed
Monday. Once the update is complete, the space will be nearly 25,000 square
feet in size, an addition of more than 8,500 square feet, and will accommodate
nearly double the capacity of the current lounge.
The lounge will be partially closed from Sept. 3 to early
2025. From early 2025 to spring 2025 it will be fully closed. While partially
open, full amenities will be available, however “customers may encounter
crowding during peak hours due to reduced space capacity.” The updated lounge
is expected to open in spring 2025.
Polaris customers during the renovation period, can visit
any of the United Club locations at O’Hare, which will have “updated and
improve premium beverage offerings, complimentary to Polaris guests,” according
to the carrier.
