UA lounge access with lounge pass but no UA boarding pass?

Hi all,

I'll be near a UA lounge (SFO Intl terminal), and I have a spare lounge pass (from a credit card). The problem is that I won't have a UA boarding pass. Can I get into the lounge?

just in case it somehow matters, I will be flying Swiss using a ticket issued by LH. I have no status of any kind. Just the lounge pass

thanks!

 

Yes you can get in with the pass.

 

There should be no problem. We use it all the time in Las Vegas when flying on Hawaiian.

 

The website does not show any requirement for a one-time pass other than the pass be valid.
You are flying on Swiss which is a Star Alliance carrier and the issuer (LH) is also a carrier. I would not expect you to have trouble with entry for yourself only.
That said, I am a lifetime member and I have had the random agent demand a UA BP.

 

You shouldn't have any trouble if you have a boarding pass showing that you are actually in transit. I believe that any boarding pass would do but having a *A BP decreases the chances of rejection.

The reason you should be allowed is that same-day lounge passes can be purchased by anyone and lounge passes can be gifted to someone traveling with any airline...I think.

 

LOL - Three independent views [I had not seen the first two as I was composing my response when they were posted], all saying the same thing. I like your chances.

 

Thank you all!

 

I'll tell you what, give the thing to me. If I can get in, I'm open to inviting you in as my guest.
