United Airlines is set to open a new lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in the US.

Starting from 30 April this year, the customers travelling in the airline’s international premium cabins, United Polaris, can take advantage of its facilities. The lounge is located in the International Terminal near Gate G92.

The new 28,000ft² United Polaris Lounge is spread over two levels. It includes 440 seats with 19 different types of seating arrangements, 492 power outlets and 492 USB ports, five private daybeds, eight luxurious shower suites and personal valet services including steaming garments.

“United and United Express served more than 148 million customers in approximately 1.6 million flights.”

The lounge is decorated with eight pieces of art and features a private restaurant-style dining area and a bar.

Passengers can visit the United Polaris Lounge to rest and dine before their travels and can also refresh following their arrivals.

Besides this lounge at San Francisco, three other United Polaris lounges are expected to open this year.
