Buried in the announcement of the new Club Fly Lounge in Houston was official confirmation that United Airlines will reopen its long-shuttered United Club In Hong Kong (HKG) later this year.

United Club In Hong Kong Will Reopen In 2025

The lounge closed during the pandemic in 2020 and five years later has not reopened. But that will change in 2025, with the lounge scheduled to reopen later this year.

Live And Let’s Fly asked United if it was targeting a specific opening date, but United responded that it does not have specific timing to share at this point.

I’ve flown through Hong Kong quite a bit over the years, but have not been to the United Club in Hong Kong since 2008! Back then, it was a Red Carpet Club and I snapped the following pictures:

Along with Mexico City (MEX), Tokyo Narita (NRT), and London (LHR), the lounge is only one of four outside the United States operated by United (some of you may remember the old United Clubs in Buenos Aires, Frankfurt, Paris, and Sao Paulo, as I do).

Don’t expect a Polaris Lounge in HKG, but this was a very solid lounge up until 2020 with wonderful staff and nice food. I’m hoping that will be true again.

Other lounge projects in the United pipeline include:

  • Denver – the completion of the B West United Club later this year (plus a Polaris Lounge at some future point)
  • Houston – a huge new United Club as part of the terminal expansion project will open in 2026
  • San Francisco – a new United Club will open in 2026
  • Washington Dulles – a new United Club will open as part of new Concourse E (anticipated opening in 2026, but my prediction is 2028)

Which United Club are you most looking forward to?
