Had that at the lounge in ATL. Thankfully it was only 10 minutes.

Can we get the links to get in line wiki'ed here, so we can book in advance?

What time of day was this? Also I assume you mean you just had Priority Pass and not the Chase Sapphire Reserve card?

Any kosher food at the Chase Sapphire lounge at JFK? Is this lounge accessible with a boarding pass for any airline at Terminal 4 (Jetblue, El Al, etc) ?
IME no kosher food (when I asked they told me everything is halal ;) ) You can enter with any T4 boarding pass. (Jetblue doesn't operate from T4 though)

Around 2pm.
It was "the Club at ATL", with priority pass.

I mean if the lounges are setting up these text systems, let's get ahead of them

Was recently at the Chase Polaris lounge at EWR and unfortunately they were out of all kosher food. I spoke to a manager and while they were apologetic, obviously they couldn't do anything other than offer me 2 $20 vouchers to buy packaged kosher food from a shop in the terminal. I suggested to them to possibly make a way that people can sign up for kosher food in advance as obviously they don't know how many kosher customers will be coming (although maybe they could cross check how many people flying Polaris that day that ordered a kosher meal on their flight?)

Dan or anyone else, do you think they would offer me any compensation? I specifically booked United to have the kosher food in the lounge and could have booked cheaper alternatives otherwise. Is there any type of United upgrade that I can ask for that would allow me to update a United economy ticket to Business (Polaris) class?

I think you mean United Polaris , it has nothing to do with chase.

I think you can definitely ask for more, the way you put it was convincing to me. I wouldn't ask for anything specific, just, how can you make this right?

They won't give you an upgrade for a lack of food,maybe a voucher or miles. Also depends on your status.

Thank you. Yes I meant United Polaris. Also one of the $20 food vouchers they gave me didn't work so that's another $20 I actually lost out of pocket. I don't have status so I guess I shouldn't be too hopeful. What's the best way to contact them?

United has a link for complaints on their site.

Can I change terminals in FRA just to get into PP lounge in transit area?
Connecting from non-Schengen to non-Schengen both in terminal 1, will I be able to go to terminal 2 for PP lounge?
I don't want to exit transit area for landside lounge

That train line is landside
You need to reclear everything (which can take a while in terminal 1)
The other line which is internal in terminal 2 is airside, needs to reclear security but not immigration

Was just in the Chase Sapphire lounge at JFK. It's a nice club although I thought it would be much bigger. It's kinda small and loud. No good options for kosher food. They just have cold drinks and "kosher snacks" which was just a bag of pretzels and Nature Valley granola bar. Too bad they don't offer any good kosher food options.

Trying to figure out which lounge I'd have complimentary access to in Newark airport terminal C.
I have Amex plat, Sapphire reserve, Ritz Carlton +
I don't see any lounges in the priority pass portfolio for terminal C.

Input appreciated. TIA

Use the platinum airline credit to pay for a 1 time pass to the United club

That I wouldn't do - when I can actually use it for travel bank. Between all my high premium cards I had expected one of them to gain me access in EWR - oh well.

Sure. You can go enter terminal C with a terminal B ticket. There is a shuttle you can take (1 pm- 11pm) from Terminal C to Terminal B without having to clear security again.
