United Airlines is building a new 25,000-square-foot United Club at SFO Terminal 2, featuring a 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace. The lounge is expected to open by the end of 2026

## Summary

United Airlines is constructing a new United Club at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) in Terminal 2, located below the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge. The 25,000-square-foot lounge will be United's fourth and largest at SFO, slightly smaller than the Polaris Lounge. Key features include a 4,000-square-foot outdoor terrace with seating, a pass-through bar, and partial coverage with heaters for year-round use. The design incorporates a "San Francisco eclectic" vibe. United expects the lounge to debut by the end of 2026. This is part of a broader 2026 lounge expansion that includes a new club at Dulles (IAD) and a 54,000-square-foot club at Houston (IAH), which will also feature an outdoor terrace
