Hi,
thank you very much for helpful article. Despite all the details presented in it, I’d like to ask you for explanation of one issue.
In September I’ll be flying from LAS to ORD with my adult daughter in economy class (UA flight). I’m Star Alliance Gold (LH) and I plan to visit United Club before departure. According to information in your article “United Premier Gold or Star Alliance Gold status passengers may access the lounge with a same-day boarding card for an international flight”. However, according to UA rules of access to United Clubs (https://www.united.com/ual/en/us/fly/travel/airport/united-club-and-lounges/access.html), it seems that rules for UA Gold and for All Other Star Alliance Golds are slightly different.
In case of UA Gold passengers “a valid Star Alliance Gold membership card and a same-day boarding pass for travel on an international flight operated by a Star Alliance member airline are needed to access United Club” but I don’t see “international flight” requirement in case of all other Star Alliance Gold passengers. It’s very important for us since our flight is a domestic one.
Could you please explain, if we’ll have access to United Club at LAS airport in such case?

Hi Bartek,
Since your Star Alliance Gold is via LH, you will be able to enter the United Club on your flight.
