How to get into lounges at CLE.
Cleveland's lounge access is straightforward. The Club CLE is the pay-per-visit anchor — it takes Priority Pass and LoungeKey and admits walk-in guests on a pay-in basis. The United Club follows United and Star Alliance rules for premium-cabin passengers and status holders. The USO Center is a separate, eligibility-restricted space for military travellers rather than a paid or membership lounge.
Priority Pass & LoungeKey
Priority Pass and LoungeKey are accepted at The Club CLE on Concourse B. Present your membership card with your boarding pass; check capacity at busy times, as it's the airport's only contract lounge.

United & Star Alliance
The United Club admits United and Star Alliance premium-cabin passengers and eligible status holders, such as Star Alliance Gold members on a qualifying flight. Access follows United Club membership and Star Alliance lounge rules.

Know before you go.
One contract lounge
- —The Club CLE on Concourse B is the only independent contract lounge at Cleveland, covering Priority Pass, LoungeKey and walk-in entry.
- —If you're not flying United and don't hold Star Alliance status, The Club is your main option — plan around its Concourse B location.
- —It opens around 04:30 and closes in the evening, so it isn't an overnight or very-late-flight option.
Match the lounge to your concourse
- —The Club CLE is on Concourse B; the United Club is on Concourse C between gates C14 and C16 — check which concourse your gate is on.
- —Cleveland is a single, walkable terminal, so moving between concourses airside is straightforward once you've cleared security.
- —United operates the bulk of the gates near the United Club, handy if you're connecting on United.
Flying United
- —A United business-class ticket or Star Alliance Gold status gets you into the United Club without buying a separate pass.
- —The United Club has a hot and cold buffet and a bar, a step up in food from the snacks-and-drinks setup at The Club CLE.

Military travellers
- —The USO Center is a free space for eligible service members and their families — bring valid military ID.
