★4.1(480 reviews)PDX · Concourse E
Portland's Star Alliance lounge — contemporary comfort with tarmac views on Concourse E.
The United Club at Portland International is the Star Alliance lounge at PDX, sitting airside on Concourse E. It's a contemporary, cosy retreat with warm lighting, modern decor and Pacific Northwest touches, plus comfortable seating arranged for relaxing before a flight. Large windows look out over the tarmac, an aviation-enthusiast's touch that adds to the relaxed feel, and the space is airy and well maintained — though it can get busier during peak departure hours. Access is through United's own programme, for eligible United and Star Alliance partner passengers travelling in a qualifying cabin or holding the right status. Because Portland's concourses connect airside, you can reach the United Club on foot from across the terminal once you're past security.
Crowding · busy at peak
A workable spot before a flight, with Wi-Fi, power at seating and seating you can use for a laptop. Fine for email and light work, though it's an airline lounge rather than a dedicated business space.

A United Club spread with light bites and snacks and a bar serving wines, beers and spirits, plus coffee, tea and soft drinks. It's set up for a comfortable pre-flight refresh in the usual United Club format rather than a full meal.
