The discount applies to United Club trip passes for customers traveling on select long-haul international flights. A United Club trip pass gives you access to all available United Club locations at your departing and connecting airports, as well as at arrival airports in select locations, for one direction of travel.
At arrival, access to our United Club locations is only available to eligible travelers who are connecting to another flight or have already made a domestic connection to their destination airport.
A trip pass is only good for you (no guests) and expires once your trip is over. Customers who buy United Premium Plus fares and whose entire itinerary is on United® and United Express® flights can purchase a discounted trip pass when available on united.com and while booking their flight on the United app. If you’re unable to purchase the discounted trip pass in advance, please see an agent at the United Club location.
