United Airlines Opens Fifth United Club In Chicago O’Hare

United Airlines has taken over a familiar space to open its fifth United Club lounge in Chicago O’Hare (ORD) near gate E7.

New E7 United Club In Chicago ORD Takes Over Former Northwest Airlines Space

The new lounge looks familiar…for Northwest Airlines and Delta Air Lines flyers. Yes, the new lounge is located in Terminal 2 near Gate E7 and was formerly a Delta Sky Club (and Northwest WorldClub before it). While minor cosmetic changes have been made, this lounge is not like United’s new C10 lounge. Instead, it’s a smaller lounge with a distinct feel of Northwest Airlines.

The new club has more limited food and drink options than other United clubs at O’Hare, but includes something very unique: a self-service bar, The bar includes three beers and prosecco on tap, plus both red and white wines. Meanwhile, the buffet features cold offerings such as a smoked salmon bar, a mezze platter, and warm seasonal soup. However, do not expect hot dishes like some of the other United Clubs in the airport.

The club is open daily from 7:30 AM to 7:30 PM CT.

Gabrielle Wiebusch, United’s ORD Lounges and Premium Services Regional Manager, explained:

“We are so excited to open more club space in ORD. This was a tremendous effort by our United Club Premium Services teams and ORD Commercial Real Estate team to best serve our customers as they relax before their travels. Thank you to everyone involved for your hard work and dedication!”

Flyertalk member mktozd published a helpful video tour of the new lounge:

As you can see, it really looks like a NWA lounge (though it appears the fireplace was removed). Apparently, it was also (temporarily) co-branded as a Continental Airlines Presidents Club, prior to the United merger when COntinetnal was part of the SkyTeam alliance.

Why did United just make minor cosmetic changes to this lounge? Because it is a temporary lounge. Terminal 2 will be razed for a new terminal and this lounge simply addresses overcrowding in the days leading up to the demise of this terminal.
