HOUSTON, Feb. 25,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- United today opened its newest
United Club Fly location at George Bush Intercontinental Airport,
designed for travelers who want a convenient option to pick up a
snack, beverage or barista-made coffee as they head to their
flight.
At United Club Fly in Houston,
travelers can experience:
- Seamless, self-scan entry with their boarding pass at
automated entry gates.
- Selection of premium food and beverage for the on-the-go
traveler, including fresh-squeezed orange juice, warmed pastries,
wraps, salads, sandwiches and more.
- Barista-crafted, personalized coffee beverages from the
club's full-service coffee bar, helping customers skip long lines
at airport coffee shops.
- Self-service beverage counter with a reusable water
bottle refilling station and other favorite nonalcoholic beverages,
including soft drinks, iced tea and more.
- Space City inspired design that celebrates the
Houston area.
"We're bringing elevated convenience to Houston with the opening of our second Club
Fly location," said Alexander Dorow,
Head of United's Club and Lounge Program. "Designed for on-the-go
United Club members, Club Fly offers a club experience that matches
the ways travelers' needs have evolved, especially when they're
pressed for time. Not all customers travel the same way and that
encourages us to constantly look at new opportunities to add value
to our club program and support travelers throughout their entire
journey."
United was the first U.S. airline to debut a grab-and-go club
concept with the opening of its first location in Denver in 2022. More than 300,000 travelers
have visited Club Fly since it opened in Denver, and they've enjoyed the convenience,
refreshment selection and barista-made drinks, especially during
short layovers. This club format reflects the airline's ongoing
commitment to launch new innovations that support different
customer needs during their travel journeys.
More than half of customers at IAH are connecting passengers,
and the grab-and-go club will improve the customer experience for
on-the-go travelers who are pressed for time and want to quickly
recharge and refuel before their flight. Located on the south side
of Terminal B, United Club Fly features a modern design that
reflects Houston. The Space City
inspired club features seasonal coffee bar highlights, such as
Lavender Matcha Latte and Blueberry Acai "Galaxy" Latte.
United Club members and travelers in premium cabins flying
internationally will have access to United Club Fly.
The opening of United Club Fly in Houston is part of the airline's growth plans
in Houston that include a
$2.6 billion renovation and expansion
of Terminal B, a new United Club location and an Early Bag Storage
facility (EBS). It also marks the airline's latest investment in
its network of clubs and lounges. Since 2022, United has opened or
renovated a total of eight United Club locations across its system.
In 2025, the airline will open expanded Polaris Lounges in
Chicago and Newark. Also in 2025, United will reopen a
renovated and expanded club in Denver's B West Terminal, which will complete
its plan to redesign every United Club at DEN. Internationally,
United plans to reopen the United Club in Hong Kong. In 2026, United will open a new
United Club in San Francisco and
its largest-ever United Club in Houston.
