Confirmed.

Though of course, the world has no shortage of clueless employees, so coulda been a fluke. They went through the whole process of photocopying stuff (either BP or card, don't remember which).

And may only be on *A airlines, of course.

Angels doesn't mean BDTZ EH. I try to check but sometimes they get upset.

It is so much more geshmak to be able to eat food on a table, 4x the size of the plane table, where you can walk around, without the ground shaking. The free food is not worth the money.

On PP you may have to pay $27 for guest.

5) UA UC membership when flying (*A or UA?)

I am flying UA and have United Club but can't find anything official that says that I will be entitled to entry to the Dan Lounge in TLV.

You've tried it on a UA coach ticket and been denied?

It used to be on the UA website but they got rid of that whole section of their site.

Found it for you with the wayback machine:
http://web.archive.org/web/20101026091021/http://www.continental.com/web/en-US/content/travel/airport/lounge/locations/all.aspx?

UA.com got rid of this page a couple months ago.

So has anyone had any recent experience flying UA coach with UC membership? Or is the changed website an indication of a policy change?

There's no change other than rots5 making a mistake and then correcting himself.
